Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice (Psalm 55:17).
How can you be prepared to endure a betrayal?
David experiences a painful betrayal. Betrayals occur by a one-time friend who turns into an enemy. The grieving psalmist writes, “For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; then I could hide from him. But it was you, a man my equal, my companion and my acquaintance” (Psalm 55:12-13).
Similarly, our Lord sustains a painful betrayal at Gethsemane. Jesus responds by asking Judas, “Friend, why have you come?” (Matthew 26:50). Unlike David, Jesus knew His betrayer who dined with Him (John 13:18-19). Yet both Jesus and David maintain a healthy prayer life, which sustains them (Psalm 55:17; Mark 14:35). We should do the same!
Employment Point: Pray regularly to be prepared for any crisis.
