Psalm 54

It took me less than 1 minute to read this psalm, but I had to read it a few times to consider the message. It must have been a very difficult time for David while he fled from Saul and the army of the LORD. David knew that Saul's intentions were based upon false claims against David's character. But to have a city of strangers seek to surrender David to Saul as if he were guilty must have been an extra heaping of discouragement. As David fled again he turned to God with a plea of deliverence. God granted David's plea but David was actively involved as he fled the area. I know that when I ask God to provide for me I want him to do ALL the work. God normally has different ideas. Growth in God's kingdom always cost the disciple something.
