Blogging the Bible- June 6

Judges 10-12; Psalm 71

I wish I had the complete trust of the Psalmist. He writes from such an earnest place, a place of complete surrender. He recounts how God has always been faithful to him and how once more he is in need of rescue.

There doesn’t appear to be a need of rescue due to sin, but due to the aggression of others. He tells of how his life is so good because of what God has given him. He is an example to many because of God’s blessing. He can never stop praising God.

How often when the going starts getting too good, we think we have accomplished something ourselves, or when God doesn’t show up on our timing do we blame God for failing us.

In the Psalmist’s plea, you sense need, but not desperation. You sense trust in the moment, not one shaking their fist to the sky. You hear one who knows that God is going to come through, it’s just a matter of time.

Do we trust that God is going to come through for us? Do we acknowledge that all of our blessings come from Him? Do we full trust Him?
