Psalm 55:16 – 23 Memory verse: v
22
In Matt 7:7 and 8, Jesus told us to ask,
seek and find, and it shall be given to us. He did not restrict our asking to
certain number of times rather He enjoins us to ask as many times as we can (Lk.
18:1). The Psalmist enjoins us to do same (55:22) because he has been doing it
and have always received answers from God. Here he testifies and gave God all
the glory for redeeming him. He was emphatic about seeking the face of God
because he has the assurance that God will sustain us. The reason God will
answer us is because He does not permit the righteous to slip or fall. Lack of
basic necessities can make us slip off the faith. This shows the mercies and
loving kindness of God upon us.
God wants us to give our burdens to Him
(Ps 37:5, 24; Matt 6:25; Lk 12:22; 1 Pet 5:7). Unfortunately, we often continue
to bear them ourselves even when we say we are trusting in Him. If we believe
in God, we should hand over our cares, worries, needs, anxieties,
apprehensions, burden, etc to Him. Why will you continue to bear the burden you
don’t even have solution to? Daily we trust God to wake us up and He does that.
We should also trust the same strength that sustains us to carry our cares
also. God is waiting for you. Believe Him as you go out today that He will surprise
you.
Food
for Thought:
Dependence on God will keep the soul in peace.
Prayer: God, I bring my burden (mention it) to you for I know you care for me.
