Rescue & Hope!

For Tuesday, March 29, 2022

Psalm 40:13 NLT, David praying: “Please, Lord, rescue me! Come quickly, Lord, and help me.”

We tend to remember David as either the little shepherd boy who took down the giant Goliath, or later as the powerful king of the Hebrew people. But there was an in-between time that didn’t go so well.

As a young man, David had been anointed as the future king, but many tried to prevent that from happening. For several years, David found himself on the run dodging sharp spears! Rather than give up, he called on the Lord for help.

The message here for all of us is that when life doesn’t go so well, we too should call out to the Lord. Our Creator God is full of forgiveness and compassion. He is a God of second-chances, rescue and above all hope!

"Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.” (Ps. 40:3b)
