PSALM 142 ~ 21 MAY 2008

By David

Prayer for Rescue

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Ps 142:6

This is a prayer of David when he was finding his refuge in a cave. He was hiding from Saul’s pursue of his life.

There can be no situation so distressing or dangerous, where faith is not being strengthen even by prayer. When our spirits are overwhelmed by distress, and filled with discouragement; when we see snare (traps) laid for us on every side, we need to pray to God even more.

Those who truly seek God &call on him, will find their sufficiency in him.

In this situation David prayed earnestly to God. We may apply it spiritually too. Our souls are often invaded by doubts and fears. We must learn to go to God to set us free from doubts and fears.

Finally when deliverance comes, we could praise God and testify of his powerful works. That more will see His goodness.

Application:
When you face problems, do you turn to God to solve the problems for you? More often, we want quick fixes to problems. Instead of turning to God for help, our fear and anxiety often drives us to do something about the situations.
Invite God to the situations or problems and allow his mighty presence to come. And he will show you what to do or not to do.
