Speak To God!
By: Robert A. Searles
“And David spake unto the Lord
the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him
out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: And
he said, , the Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer;
the God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield and the horn
of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Savior, thou savest
me from violence .”2 samuel 22: 1-3.
David spoke unto the Lord and
sang songs of praise and thanksgiving for God's deliverance from all
his enemies, and for all his blessings.
When we speak unto the Lord, what
do we say to him? Is he pleased with our salutation to him? Do we
approach him with respect and adoration, acknowledging his rule and
sovereignty over us?
David acknowledged that he had won victories
and was delivered from his enemies because of God's grace and love
for him. His prayer and song of praise to God was in remembrance of
all of God's favors and blessings. He recognized that God was his
fortress and strong defense, and he called unto the Lord to tell him
so.
No battle is ever won with a
multitude of men or horses without God's protection. No blessing
ever comes to us unless God ordains it; and no salvation unless God
chooses to save us, which he did when he sent Christ into the world
to lay down his life for all who would believe. Nothing can harm us
unless God allows it.
We ought to speak to God in prayer
the first thing in the morning. When we speak to God, our first
words ought to be words of thanksgiving and praise. We ought to
approach God as our father and tell him that we remember when we
were yet sinners, and without hope in the world, and that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save us. We called upon him and he
answered us, and he did save us.
What a great privilege God our
father has granted to us that through our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ we have access to his throne of grace to speak with him when
we are happy or, when we are sad; when we have plenty or, when we are
in want; when we are in danger, or when we are safe; when we are sick
or, in good health.
Let us always remember that God is
our rock, our fortress, our high tower, and call upon the Lord who
is worthy to be praised.
“I will call on the Lord, who
is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” 2
Samuel 22: 4.
