1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
Until these calamities have passed by.
2 I will cry out to God Most High,
To God who performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise. —Psalm 57:1-3; 7
I love thinking that spiritually speaking it is God who performs all things for me. It is my God who works in me both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress;
Every hand of misery will come against him.—Job 20:22
I so desire to rest in Him. I didn’t work to save my own soul…Christ is my Savior. So often though, I worry about being insufficient to get through this life…about not being able to keep up…about not being able to hold on or keep my head above the waves. Instead of fearing this though, what I really should FEAR is doing this life in my strength.
Praying today that I will never again look inwardly for wisdom and strength but look to my God who sees me, looks after me and performs all things for me. Oh Father! You are my Helper. You are my strength, my shield and my exceedingly great reward. Help me to look to You in all things! Give me a steadfast heart. Let my entire reliance be fixed on you. Today, I will cast the burden of all my cares and insufficiency on You who perfects that which concerns me and performs all things for me.
The LORD will perfect that which concerns me—Psalm 138:8
It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.—Psalm 18:32
I will cry out to God Most High,
To God who performs all things for me.—Psalm 57:2
