HOW SHOULD WE UNDERSTAND THIS?
August 11, 2023LET US PRAY FOR THE NATION
August 13, 2023Each of us pray and seek the LORD, in times of need, for His grace and mercy to be upon us. Such a prayer is an acknowledgment about God’s ability to help us, and our inability to help ourselves. It is always good to look to the LORD.
David, who knew this very well, always made it a point to seek the LORD. He did learn at a very young age, that the LORD is the only sure help. Therefore, David demonstrates such courage and confidence in the face of struggles and storms. In Psalm 30, he does the same. David concludes this Psalm by reminding himself, and also us, through these words about the LORD’s help – “11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.” – Psalm 30:11-12.
What are we troubled about? Let the words of David encourage us, and also help us, to look to the LORD, to lean upon Him, and be rest assured of, His help and His strength, for all that we are struggling with. All glory to the LORD!!!
