"Give us help from
trouble,
for the help of man is
useless."
Psalm 108:12
When
one is in trouble, his natural human way is to go to a parent or a
friend to hash it out and get advice. But who is our parent? Who is
our friend, that they might advise us wisely? They are just human
beings as we are, and their advice will be tainted by their affection
for us. If you feel you have been treated unfairly, you know your
parent or your friend will take your side and share your anger at
whoever offended you.
Blessed is the man/woman who does NOT
turn to family or friends, but who turns to the Lord. The Lord has a
perspective that no one else has. He knows the details of the story
totally. Only HE can give the RIGHT advice, the RIGHT direction,
because his counsel will be rooted in truth. Many a time, the counsel
given by the Lord will be the opposite from that of one's close
friends or loved ones.
Open your heart to him to hear
whatsoever he has to say. Even if it is YOU who is wrong, he is the
one who knows that. His counsel will not be swayed by emotion or
family loyalty, his counsel will stand in the truth.
You can
TRUST the Lord. He will take up your cause, of that you can be SURE.
If someone has hurt you unjustly, HE will deal with your enemy. Isn't
that what you want? The situation worked out justly? Then bring your
trouble to him. He will hear you. He will CARE. And he will work it
out in a way that your loved ones never could.
vs 13:
"Through
God we will do valiantly,
for it is HE who shall tread down our
enemies."
