Ps 57 :1
Be merciful to me, O God, be Merciful to me! For my soul trust in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge.
David was in a cave being pursued by Saul. To any bible student -they would have an understanding of what the situation was with David and for this blog post – I will not go into that.
You know, sometimes I find myself in a cave so to speak. Have you ever felt like you were there – in a dark cave – surrounded by cold wet walls – in the Dark? Sometimes life becomes bizarre. We as God’s children experience all kinds of various trials and situations that are – well… Weird! But in spite of it all – to those who have come to the place where they understand that God is SOVEREIGN and in COMPLETE control – these will come to the place of Trust. This is the ONLY place of comfort for the believer. Apart from learning to trust God – we are just as messed up as any non-christian. But how can someone come to trust God when they do not know about His Sovereignty? I say that they can’t. If God is sovereign – then I can rest, for I know that His nature is only Good – Just – Kind – loving – sure – faithful to provide – stronger than any situation… and on and on I could go.
So how do we abide as David did – in this cold wet cave – where his life was at stake from the pursuit of Saul – trusting in God?
We Praise Him. We lift Him UP! A truly godly person wants God’s glory to be exhibited more that he wants his own personal problems to be solved.
There is rest under the shadow of God’s Sovereing Wings? Be still and know that HE is God and praise Him in the caves of life.
