The psalmist here writes the poem in midst of calamity when a band of enemies were chasing after him for his life. David is referred as God’s dear son because he never forsook the Lord in times of trouble. He accepted tribulations with a sheer confidence that God is in total control and His promise never misses the mark. This psalm is a great example for his confidence in His Maker.
V7 – In the time of trouble I WILL call you for you WILL answer me
V10 – You ARE great and do marvelous deeds
V13 – You HAVE delivered me from the depths of the grave
David’s heart was after the Lord because he had confidence in Him. Many a times we fall depressed doubting God’s protection. But we may fail to understand that He has promised to be with us. Our God has control over our Future because He controls our Present and that is so evident by His marvelous deeds in our Past.
Lord Jesus, help us to understand your might and that You are in full control of my Future, Present and the Past. Help us put our confidence in You like your servant David did. Amen.
