Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 55:16, where we read these words:
"As for me, I will call upon God, and the LORD shall save me."King David makes a personal assertion here. No matter what other people choose to do with their troubles and problems—he, at least, will bring his to the Lord. David believed that simply "calling upon God" would be enough to secure His [God's] help. This is why he wrote, "The Lord shall save me."
May all God's chosen and elect, redeemed and sanctified Christian church-men call upon Him, in trouble or in pleasure. Let us recognize that the Lord is good; and that He alone is able to meet all of our needs in Christ—be those needs profound or mundane.
