PSALM 70 ~ 10 MARCH 2008

By David

Those who put their trust in God will receive help and deliverance.

“But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation

always say, “Let God be exalted!” Ps 70:4

This psalm is copied almost word for word from Psalm 40:13-17. Thus this Psalm is also a psalm of “remembrance”, to remember God of his mercy and promises.

David is properly facing a similar situations and is reminding himself of the prayers he had made before.

He pleaded and called to God to send help to him quickly, verse 1,5.

He called upon God to shame his enemies, verse 2,3.

There is joy in God’s deliverance for those who trust in Him, verse 4. There is no better help than the help of God. We should look to God for help when in need. Remember who your God is, He is the God that delivers you.

Application:

Those who place their trust in the faithfulness of God will surely be delivered. Are you in a situation where you are helpless now? Where you need God to do something right now? Do you call upon God like David did and ask Him to come quickly to help and to deliver?

Whatever pressing situation you might be in now, turn to the Sovereign God for his saving grace to come.

Cry out to him with desperation, plead of him the way David pleaded and let Him come to your rescue and deliverance.
