Psalm 70: Come Quickly to Help me

Most people most of the time are looking for instant gratification for most desires. Many times the one who prays and seeks God’s help is encouraged to wait for the response from the Lord; wait with hope and eager anticipation, never giving up. God will answer in His time and in His way.

In spite of knowing the value of waiting the one seeking help prays, “Make haste to help me, O Lord.” He is not telling God what to do and when to do it; he is simply expressing urgency. He is being honest with the Lord as to a father or a friend, “I need help, and I need it now.” This is honest to God prayer.

Enemies are often seeking after my soul and desiring my hurt, probably more often and more subtly than I am even aware of. It is good and right for me to ask God to turn them back, and to do so quickly; for I say that I trust Him to be my Help and my Deliverer. Jesus seeks to enhance my life; the Enemy seeks to diminish it. Always. I can be bold and instant, and quickly ask for quick help.
