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."David offers a personal prayer here. No matter what other people choose to do with their troubles—he, at least—will bring all of his to the Lord. David be-lieved that simply "calling upon God" would be enough to secure His help. This is why he wrote, "The Lord shall save me."
May all God's churchmen call upon Him through Jesus Christ, 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—be they profound or mundane.
