Your Way or God's Way

You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress. (Psalms 59:9 NLT)

We, as Christians, have a resource that no one else has, and that is God. He is always there, always ready to help. Sometimes when He gives us help, we don't like what He is asking us to do, so we try it our way...and get results we really don't want. King David knew Who had the answers and Who had the help. He knew where to go, and he knew what to do, and that was to wait for God to rescue him. King David knew that God was his strength and he knew that God was his fortress. King David knew that God was the only One to help him. David didn't even trust himself! Part of that help is waiting, and sometimes that is worse than the problem itself, but it is what we have to do if we want the help of the Almighty, the help of the Creator, the help of God who will not only give us the answer, but the answer that will be long lasting.

Take Away: the next time you need help, call on God, know that He is your strength, and then wait for Him to answer.
