Psalm 7:1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
David sings to the Lord concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. He feels the sting of the Enemy’s persecution and mocking. Yet he responds by turning to the Lord and puts his trust in the Lord his God. He believes his God has the ability and the desire to save and deliver him. He does not trust in his own strength nor in the help of anyone else, but in the Lord alone.
Because of Christ we can trust in the Lord when we are undergoing trouble and trial. Even though our problems may seem to overwhelm us at times we can trust in the Lord alone. Our spiritual enemies, the devil, the world, and the self, are always tempting and threatening us, but the Lord is also present as the greater power to save and deliver us. We can be certain of this because we know and believe that God loves us like this: He sent His only Son. By the power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit we are able to believe and so have life.
