Psalm
10
June 10, 2005
When David was running from King Saul he felt he could call
upon the Lord God Almighty and ask God to overthrow the enemies.
David felt very alone as he ran from being killed from his
best friend’s father. Imagine what went through his
mind as he sought God’s safety?
David known as a man after
God’s heart confidently prayed to God and asked him
to break the arm of the wicked? “Break
thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his
wickedness till thou find none.” Psalm 10:15
David’s relationship was so close with God that he knew
he could put it out on the table.
When you are being pursued
by the enemies of thine soul, are you able to put it all out
on the table? You can cry out to the Lord and tell him what
is bothering you. A lot of times I struggled in telling God
how I felt about the enemy pursuing my life but I know he
heard for he brought deliverance. I thank God that he hears
the prayers of honesty.
Verses 10-14 David brings
his case before God and opens his heart telling all he is
struggling with. We are to do the same thing in approaching
our God in prayer. Nothing should be hidden for God knows
our hearts and thoughts.
In praying to God there
are steps to take so that your heart is ready to receive what
he will instruct you to do. “Lord,
thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare
their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear.” Psalm
10:17
So God desire us to humble
ourselves before approaching him and seek his face. He desires
us to have faith in knowing he has heard our prayers and believe
that he will answer our prayers. God only hears a heart that
removes pride, repents, confesses sin, and is ready for his
cleansing power. So the confident we have when we approach
him with a cleansed heart is that he will accomplish it if
it’s his will.
Lord thank you for showing
us in the Word David’s confidence in you while he was
running from his enemies. Help me too to have that same confidence.
Help me not to hide any evil in my heart but to seek thy righteousness
through believing prayer. Now bless this day Lord and thank
you for your Word.
In Jesus Name AMEN
