Day 35: Instant Access

“...And put your trust in the Lord.”

David writes in Psalm 4:5 to put our trust in the Lord. He goes on to tell us in Psalm 4:8 that this causes him to “both lay me down in peace and sleep.” How many of us long to lay our heads down at night and get a peaceful night’s sleep?

Yes, but David didn’t have to deal with a miserable work environment or with children who are rambunctious. He didn't have to take care of a sick family member or get his house in order for visitors. Really? Read 1 & 2 Samuel! The point is that we face the same pressures today that people in other eras faced. The good news is that we have the same God they had. We can go to the same God in prayer– the God that parted the Red Sea, that delivered David from the hand of the Philistines, that conquered the land of Canaan, and that sent his Son to this earth and raised Him from the dead. We have the same access to God that Noah, Joseph, Elijah, Peter and all other Bible heroes had: prayer. Are we using this access? Are we doing what Jesus suggested we do in Matthew 11:28-30? Do we believe that we serve the same God that our faithful brethren of old did (Hebrews 13:8)?

Our problems are not too big for God. If he could solve David’s problems, He can solve ours. Don’t put limits on God. Communicate with Him. Let’s continue to be people of prayer and put our trust in the Lord.
