God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence. 2 Samuel 22:3 WEB.

David sang this the day the Lord delivered him from all his enemies. Where others saw nothing, David could see the work of the Lord through the eyes of faith. When those around him didn't believe, David would tell them:

"I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. That's what works for me. Look at this dead giant head He gave me!"

Yet, David wouldn't have had anything to sing about if he hadn't lived through some pretty hard times first. You don't get the glory without living the story. You don't have a testimony without a test.

As with David, the Lord is there to help us, though it's usually invisible to our normal eye. He is an unshakable Rock, the Ancient of Days, the Living God. When we invite the Lord into our situation, it brings change. When God is on our side, no one can stand against us.

So don't struggle using your own strength. Invite the Lord into your situation. Ask Him to come and be a part of your day and help you with this. Don't become discouraged when it takes longer than you thought it would. David went through many afflictions, but God delivered him out of them all.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please come and be a part of my life today. I look to You, Lord. Save me from my enemies, and give me the wisdom to excel. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Note: Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12-13) ~ If you have a prayer need, we are here for you!
