"Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer."
David was in distress. He went to the right source, because he sought the Lord. The Lord is always the right source when we are in distress. We sometimes make the mistake of trying to work it out for ourselves. Perhaps we do not wish to bother anyone with our distress, but God is always available to us, and He wants us to seek His help. Believe me, we will not overload the Lord wlth our distress. Let's just say that God can take whatever we bring to Him, and He will give us the answer that we need. Perhaps you are trying to work things out for yourself without taking it to the Lord. In this prayer, David said, "Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress." "Enlarged" means that David had been relieved when he took his distress to the Lord. The Lord always wants us to lean on Him. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Understand that Jesus meant what He said when He promised to give us rest. that He would give us rest. We just need to take Jesus at His word, and bring our distresses to Him and let Him give us rest. Keep in mind that God is always the right source at any time in our lives whether we are distressed or doing well. We never make a mistake by just going to God and seeking His perfect answer for our lives. I have found that when I take burdens to the Lord, He either relieves the burden, or gives me the strength to carry the burden if that is His will. Seek the Lord and your life will be on a solid foundation. He will take the problem from you, or He will give you the strength to bear it. God will hear you and act on your behalf. Julst go ahead right now, and give your heart and mind to Him, and He "wi;;give you rest. Bro. Joe
