Psalm 16:1
"Preserve me, O God: for in
thee do I put my trust"
Preserve me, O God. David is not asking for deliverance from any special trouble, but generally he is praying to be defended continually by the divine promise and direction of God. David foresaw that he needed to be safeguarded by God, from his present time and until the end.
Let's stop and think; "Do we go to God only when we need help at a certain time in our life., or do we acknowledge ourselves to ever stand in need of God's help. A child of God should desire to be preserved at all times, in all estates, both soul and body.
Why do we pray to God? Because we trust Him! No one can truly call upon God unless they believe. "How than shall they call on him in whom they have not believed"? (Romans 10:14) By God's grace we pray to Jesus Christ to be our saviour, and we are assured that He is. However without "FAITH" we cannot truly call upon God.
Ever day we see men of this world that would rather prate like parrots than pray like Christians, at what time their minds and hearts are not with God; for they trust not in God they declare both by neglecting the lawful means, and also in using unlawful means. Some trust in friends; some just trust themselves and some build themselves up with authority.
It reads on our money; "In God We Trust" Well; let us show God our trust by our love for Him and one another. During showers of adversity, we shelter ourselves under the protection of the Almighty. And why? "Whoso dwelleth in the secret of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty." So who ever puts his trust in God shall be preserved. Let us not plead by merit, but by faith, knowing and teaching that if we come with like faith, we may obtain the like deliverance.
May God Bless You
