Psalm86: 1- 4: Incline Your ear, O Lord , and answer me, For I am distressed and needy [I long for Your help]. Protect my life (soul), for I am godly and faithful; O You my God, save Your servant, who trusts in You [believing in You and relying on You, confidently committing everything to You]. For to You I cry out all the day long. Make Your servant rejoice, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul [all that I am--in prayer]. Can this be true of you? When a man has learnt to trust God for the little things, the big things are easy. Your walk with God must be daily, consistent, and fervent. God will always honour his Word and his name, but he is not a magician; I must develop a relationship with Him, if I must enjoy his help.
Psalm 86: 5-9: Be gracious and merciful to me, O Lord, For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever]; And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You. Hear, O Lord , my prayer; And listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)!In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours. All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. Meet God- the one who cannot be predicted with any kind of certainty. The one who guarantees that when i call, he will answer me. The one who creates over 7 billion people, each with unique fingerprints, and can solve a single problem in over 7 billion ways.
Psalm 86:10:For You are great and do wondrous works! You alone are God.
It is when the vs 1-9 are settled that vs 10 makes sense. How do you talk about a God that you have not experienced? How do you testify of God's mighty works if you have not been a partaker of his move and his dealings? Is all you know about God just what others have said about him, or do you have a personal, experiential knowledge of him? WHO know will sustain you through all the WHAT that is ahead. Do you see God as the only one or one of many options? His time of favour is here.
