RUN TO GOD
It is better to trust in the
Lord
Than to put confidence in
man.
It is better to trust
in the Lord
Than to put confidence in
princes.
Psalm 118:8-9 NKJV
David understood that it was
better to run to God than to run to men. When He sinned by counting people, God
sent the Gad who was David's seer with three choices of punishment. The LORD
gave the following choices to David, three years of famine, three months of
being swept away before his enemies, with their swords overtaking him, or three
days of the sword of the LORD-days of plague in the land, with the angel of the
LORD ravaging every part of Israel.(1 Chronicles 21:8-14)
David responded to Gad by
saying, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall
into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is very great; but do not
let me fall into human hands.” David knew if he would run to the LORD, he would
find mercies and grace. He knew the Lord would not completely cut him off and
He would eventually forgive him from all of his sins.
The lesson
David is teaching us through His life is that no matter how far we have gone
away from God; we need to go back to Him alone and not human beings. He knew
that there would always a room for mercy and grace before the hands of the Lord
no matter how astray we have gone in our lives. It doesn’t matter how many
years you have lived a selfish life of sin; but still as long as you have this
breath, then there is a hope for you.
This
morning, I just want to encourage you to run to God. He is the only one who can
understand what you are going through in life right now. He knows your pain, He
knows your good desires and He will sympathize with you in your
weaknesses and give you the strength to overcome them.
It is better
to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Learn to share your things
with Jesus instead of telling anyone who comes in your way. You will avoid many
things and save yourself the pain that you will have when someone recklessly
shares what was meant to be your secret. Jesus will keep your secret and
protect your dignity; put your confidence to Him today.

Prayer****
Pray this
prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Dear
Heavenly Father, I'm coming before You by the blood of Jesus. Lord I give you
all the things in my life; Lord I have many doubts and questions about
tomorrow. Lord I struggle with many things within me and I need You to stretch your
hand and touch me. Touch me and change whatsoever has gone astray in my life;
restore the joy of salvation within me and fill me with the power of your
Spirit once again. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
