Keep trusting

Psa 57:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psa 57:2  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

 This is a Psalm of David when he was pursued by Saul and in great danger and distress.  Notice his plea to God for His mercy, his plea for God to be compassionate toward him.  I want us also to notice David’s confidence in God.  God was his hope and his hiding place, his place of safety in the midst of the storm.  David was confident that God would work out the situation, as He has worked all things for him.  Sometimes life brings us to a place of danger, a storm, a calamity.  We need the same confidence that David expressed in this passage.  Cry out to our God.  Throw yourself on His compassion and mercy.  We can hide in Him, under His protective wings, until the storm passes over.  Don’t despair:  God still is working all things for our good.
