God Rescues Us

“As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned from of old, who does not change— he will hear them and humble them, because they have no fear of God. My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant. His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords. Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭55:16-23‬ ‭NIV‬‬


David wrote freely about his circumstances: oppression, violence, and strife surrounded him on all sides.  Fear and terror, pain and trembling, anxiety and restlessness overwhelmed him.  Is it any wonder he longed to escape from his circumstances and cry out for rescue?  But escape was impossible.  He could not avoid his situation.  His only option for true rescue was to give them to God: "As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me.  Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice" (Psalm 55:16-17).


Whatever our circumstances may be---health issues, financial pressures, relationship

problems---we can give them to God and place the power to change them into His hands.  He has lifted the burden of our sins so why would we question that He wouldn't lift the weight of our circumstances?  If we have trusted Him with our eternal souls, can we not trust our current circumstances to Him?  "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you" (Psalm 55:22)
