Bible Verse of The Day – 3-23-21

2 Samuel 22:7 (NKJV) 7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears.

The Lord heard David’s voice.

Do we cry out to Him? Do we talk to Him? And do we ask for His help?

David did. Why? Because David knew that what he faced was bigger than him.

2 Samuel 22:18 (NKJV) 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; For they were too strong for me.

Admitting that what stands before us is bigger than us is crucial.

Could it be that we don’t cry out and get help because we think we’ve got this? We want to keep the reigns in our own hands? We keep pushing to take care of it on our own.

When the enemy is way too strong for us, do we let it keep on beating us down because we refuse to ask for help?

David cried out, and if we read on, we will see that he is reflecting on how God helped him through so much!!

What is our problem? Is it that we don’t cry out? Is it that we don’t want to ask for help because then we may have to accept the fact we actually need help?

Could it be pride that keeps us from getting the help we need and pride that keeps us in the struggle and the war we are in today?

David knew, time after time, that as he cried out to His Father, help would come. And David was strengthened by God’s hand each time. Not in a prideful way, but he was strengthened in his faith toward his Father, knowing He would be there somehow, in some way, to rescue him.

We need to let God help. But before He can, we have to realize that what we face is too big for us.

And then we have to open up and cry out for help, believing He will be our refuge and our fortress!!

Psalm 91:2 (NKJV) 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
