Are you in trouble? ( Psalm 34)
I sent this verse of scripture to someone who is in trouble,' This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles ( Psalm 34 v 6 ). Consider how it starts,'This poor man',who was this poor man?,David the future king of Israel, a man after God's own heart,and he calls himself a poor man. The poor in this world are often despised or ignored, but not by God Isaiah 61 v1, often the very rich have no time or need for God,they are self made people. David did not plead any special privileges ,he did not feel that God owed him anything, he just cried out of his poverty of spirit, nothing else.One of the most evil kings who ever ruled Israel was Manasseh , and God dealt with him severely CP 2 Chronicles 33 v 10 -11 ,but in v 12 we read,'In his distress he sought the favour of the Lord his God and humbled himself before the God of his ancestors, v13 tells us how God forgive him and restored him to kingship in Jerusalem.Whoever you are, whatever pit you are in,whatever troubles you are facing,cry unto God,if you have sinned, repent and seek forgiveness. Come to God in humility ask God to help you and He will deliver you, he saved David out of all his troubles he can save you.
