The writer of today’s Psalm is putting his faith in a righteous and faithful God, and He asks Him to listen to his cry for help. He acknowledges that God is a moral judge and asks for mercy, declaring that no one is innocent of sin before Him. When we came to God for help, did we know that He is gracious and compassionate, and slow to anger, and rich in love? Many of us did not know these things about God but what we did know was that we were powerless over our dependency and our lives had become unmanageable. In our despair we called out to God and asked Him to help us.
When we cried out to God, we were unsure if He heard us. However, God is faithful to His Word and is continually searching the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are turned toward Him. God did answer our prayer, had mercy on us, and invited us to give our will and life over to His care. Now through prayer and meditation on the Scriptures we are understanding more and more about this amazing God who knew us before we were even formed in our mother’s womb.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I ponder Your great works and think about all that You have done and continue to do for me. I am thankful that You are a forgiving God who is slow to anger and rich in love for me and all who call on Your name. Amen
