Topic: Trust Only In God [DCLM Daily Manna Saturday March 17th, 2018]
Text: Psalm 60:1-12 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man” (Psalm 60:11).
MESSAGE:
No matter how much we try to help it, we cannot but face difficulty at one time or the other. Sometimes, the challenge comes when we think we have done our best to avoid it. We have prayed, planned very well and think that we have well prepared for it, yet we find everything crashing down like a pack of cards! Such an experience can be so devastating to the mind. If one is not careful, the tendency is to become either so dejected and surrender totally to defeat or look for a carnal way out.
The Psalm under consideration records one of such experiences in the life of King David, who feels rejected by God due to the numerous trails that have come his way. As he reflected over this and cried out to God for help, God spoke reassuringly to him. God’s word revealed His promise for His people and dominion over the enemy nations. This brought back faith in the Psalmist and he concluded that only God is to be trusted for victory over the enemy.
When faced with life’s challenges, we must know that we cannot find help from any other. Too often, we see the difficulty ahead and know that it is something we cannot handle ourselves. But we forget to turn to Him who can bring help. We must realise that we have no hope unless God is willing to act on our behalf. Only with God’s help can the seemingly impossible take place.
As we understand this truth, we give up any attempt to self-manage our situations. There is no better help elsewhere but in God and through Him alone, we shall do valiantly.
Thought For The Day: When all helps fail, God will always be there!
