Psalm 25:17 NLT: David, praying to the Lord: “My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!”
David wears his religion on the outside. What I mean is, he’s not shy about worshiping God, praying to God and also pouring out all his troubles before the Lord. And he writes it all down for everyone to see!
Psalm 25 shows us a roller-coaster of David’s emotions. Up and down! He begins by expressing total allegiance to the Creator, but his thoughts quickly turn to asking for protection and being kept safe amidst his enemies. David had been anointed to be the next king of Israel, and heads-of-state are always in danger. He concludes saying his hope is in the Lord, and asks protection for Israel. (You might wonder, did David suffer from ADHD?)
The point is, God wants to know all the details of your life, both the good and the bad. Being an omniscient God, he already knows, but he wants you to share your life with him. He wants you to turn to him in times of trouble. God wants to be 100% involved in your life!
