Psalm 22:4-5 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
David tells God, and us, that his fathers, like Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, trusted in the Lord when they were in dire need. They cried out to God in trouble and He heard their prayer; they believed, and He delivered them. David holds up the fathers’ faith as an example and an encouragement for us to trust God in our need. God answered their cry, and he will do the same for us, too.
We are encouraged to follow their example and believe a delivering God. The Lord did also deliver us in our most urgent and eternal need by sending His Son to give us forgiveness, life, and salvation. We will not be confounded, ashamed, or disappointed for trusting Him. He will do it. Romans 10:11, 13: “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame…Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Cry, pray, trust. God hears, answers, delivers. You will not be disappointed or let down. He guarantees. Trust Him. Jesus has earned and freely given to us the deepest deliverance. Believe the Gospel.
