2 Chronicles 4:1-6:11
Romans 7:1-13
Psalm 17:1-15
Proverbs 19:22-23
Throughout the Old Testament, David often chose to turn to God when facing his problems. In Psalm 17, David was being hunted down by his enemies. When he was speaking to the Lord, he was trying to show that he was worthy of God's time by explaining that he had stayed true to the path and followed His commands. He was asking God to destroy his enemies, people that could physically hurt him. As we seek God with our own troubles, our enemies are not limited to people hunting us down, as was the case with David in this Psalm; our "enemies" can be a wide range of things, such as relationship issues, addictions, pride, etc. Today, when we turn to God, we don't have to try to prove ourselves worthy of being heard, the simple act of speaking to God is enough to catch His ear. The enemy can try to attack us physically or mentally, but maintaining a strong relationship and an open dialogue with God can help us overcome any challenge we may face.
Lord, thank you for always being accessible and always being just. You love and want the best for your followers, and nothing in this world can be more awesome than that. Lord, please remind us that we can turn to you in the midst of our storms and to understand that whatever the outcome may be, that it was part of your plan all along.
Amen
Amanda & Anthony
