Who is the first person we run to when situations head south? Who do we seek for counsel, guidance, or help when life sucks? Naturally, we first run to people who are closest to us; family or friends that understands us. Or one possible option is rely on ourselves and deal with these problems alone. I always wonder why we, including myself, tend to behave this way. It's a puzzling habit because knowing that Jesus, the Son of God, our refuge, should be the first person to go to... Is there something about God that we do not see clearly?
David, who has the title "Man after God's Own Heart", understood something about Him that made David confess these words in Psalms: "O my Strength", "Behold, God is my helper", "God is our refuge", "He only is my rock...my fortress". He had a clear sense of who God is. In my opinion, that is why David was able to approach God in difficult situations.
What is it that we do not see...? I desire for all Christians to have genuine prayers that displays God's character. Let us continue to press into His word and ask The Spirit for guidance so that we may understand what it means to love God with all of our heart, with all of our soul, with all of our might. Maybe knowing this, we can first go to Jesus for help when times are difficult.
God Bless~
