Psalms 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
King David was being bombarded on all sides by many enemies – Reading Ps. 69, one might think David was a goner. This verse stuck out --- David knew the LORD was his only hope. David had armies of men …. David had mighty men – He could have turned to any number of them and had the “deal” with his enemies. But, David, knew the LORD was his only hope.
Too often we turn to the things of this world to find strength, satisfaction and joy. Too often we look to the world for answers --- for rescue. Only the LORD can provide TRUE strength, satisfaction, joy & real answers --- Only the LORD can truly rescue.
Our Nation – our world is in turmoil. Jesus said it would be this way – and He said it will get worse – as it does, we have a choice ---- look to the world or look to the LORD. The world will have it’s answer – the world will have it’s advice --- to provide strength, satisfaction, joy, contentment …. But the world’s answer will only lead to more pain, more evil – it will ultimately lead to destruction. The LORD, will also have His answer, in the abundance of His steadfast love, He will answer with saving faithfulness. The question is ….. Will we be looking to Him or the world?
