As David penned these words through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he must have thought back to the many times he had called upon God.
Although he was king of Israel for forty years David’s life was not without hardship, as many of his other psalms show.
After David was anointed by the prophet Samuel, he spent many years running from King Saul, who sought to takes David’s life because of Jealousy. David lived in caves, seeking shelter wherever he could find it.
He was never able to stay put for long because of Saul’s pursuit. It isn’t hard to imagine why David might have wanted to question God in such circumstances.
David knew what it was like to cry out to God, and he faced times when it seemed God was not listening.
Through these trying circumstances, David obviously learned that God is always faithful.
Understand this my friend, God is the same today as He was then, and He will be near to you when you call just as he was for King David!
Prayer Suggestion: Thank You, Lord, for hearing me when I pray. Help me remember that You are always near.
