Praise Be To The Lord, For He Has Heard My Cry For Mercy

PSALM 28:6-7
“Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭28:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬

We all run into troubles, it’s not “if” but “when” we face troubles. But the truth is, whatever issues life throws at us, and whatever mistakes we make, God can and does turn the bad into good (ROMANS 8:28; GENESIS 50:20).
He uses our life struggles to teach us, build our faith, and change even the way we think.
James tells us, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:2-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Like David, we believers need to remain close to God and seek His guidance every day. When troubles came David’s way he was already in God’s presence and prepared and ready to face all the world could throw at him.
We believers can call upon God for help at any time, but how short sighted is it to call upon on Him only when we are in trouble.
Many of our troubles could of been avoided if only like David, we had kept close to God in prayer and involved Him in everything that we do.
Through daily prayer, being ready to listen and heed to His advice, we shall be kept safe under the shadow of our Fathers wings (PSALM 57:1). Prayer develops relationship and draws us closer to God, which is true wisdom, for it is Christ who shall decide your eternal future.
David tells us, “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
I encourage you, whatever your struggles, God has all the answers; in deed He knows the things you need before you ask Him (MATHEW 6:8).
Furthermore, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:5-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Again I tell you my brethren, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
