Reach Out to Him, Now!
I pour out my complaint before Him; I tell my trouble before Him. When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me …there is none who takes notice of me ... no one cares for my soul. I cry to You, O Lord; I say, "You are my refuge" (Psalm 142:2-5 (ESV)
David was in a cave fearing for his life, surrounded by his enemies.
David here is a type of Christ, who, in His suffering for us, was forsaken by all, and yet He trusted in His Father. If we turn our complaints into prayers and praise, we, too, can trust that our loving Father can turn the situation around and bring glory to His Name.
It doesn’t matter what cave you find yourself in; just reach out to God. There is no cave so deep or so dark from where you cannot send a prayer to God with the expectation that He will deliver you from your troubles. Reach out to Him, now!
Prayer
Lord, You are my refuge, my EVER-PRESENT help, my glory, and the lifter of my head! Thank You for all Your love and care. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
About this Plan
The word psalm is derived from the Hebrew word tehillim, which means “praises," and the Greek word psallein, which means “to pluck.” Thus, Psalms is a collection of poetry sung with stringed instruments. The book records the poets' naked emotions––joy, sorrow, or anger––in the high and low seasons of their life. As John Calvin described it, reading Psalms is like looking into a mirror and seeing our own hearts.
