"May the LORD answer you when you are in distress." (vs 1 NIV) So often we wonder, what can I do to be relieved of this distress I'm in? There is no formula that works all the time, for everyone. There is no formula to be found in this world that will endure.
There is only one place that we can go to; there is only one to whom we can turn so that our distress is relieved. It doesn't do us any good to trust in the strength of this world or ourselves to relieve us of our suffering. As verse 7 tells us: "Some trust in chariots and horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." God is the only one who can truly deliver us from our suffering. He is the only one who can grant us true peace.
The bottom line is that for those who follow in the way of the LORD, this peace, this reconciliation with God our Father, through our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is the desire of our hearts and it is the answer to our distress. No matter what is going on around us in this world, as long as we are reconciled to God, through the blood of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we will know His peace and we will shout for joy over the victory won for us through Jesus Christ, our LORD.
May the LORD fill the desire of your heart and grant you His peace. Pr. J
