There had been
great times of rejoicing in David’s life, but he was also well acquainted with sorrow
and distress. With David we too can truly say that the Lord is the God of the
good times, and yet He is still God in the bad and troubled times. In the
seasons of difficulty, anguish and pain, we may feel alone and ill-equipped to
cope with the misery that life can bring. Friends are not always there for us
or able to help and understand. Although these are not the only times when we
should remember to call on the Lord, it is most appropriate that we do so. The
Lord is prompt and ready to hear us, He does not slumber or sleep, and is not
put off by the difficulty of our request. Though God is supreme and can select
to answer us as He chooses, we have an assurance that He will heed our cries
and that He is interested in us and our troubles. Faith to trust Jesus, and
believe for His intervention and provision, is necessary if we are to be
blessed by the Lord. We all know we will be faced with turmoil and struggles in
life, as wise servants of the Lord, we therefore ought to uphold a strong, holy
and pleasing walk with God at all times, so when the storms hit, as we know
they will, we will find harbour, solace and assurance in the God who can calm
the sea!
