King David is my favorite author of the Old Testament. He was a man that was real, honest, and raw with God. He mused and fussed with God, praised Him, and thanked him — all three rather quickly sometimes.
An awesome man of God and King David asked God to keep him “as the apple of his eye.”
In Psalms 43, David pleads with God,
“Vindicate me, my God,
and plead my cause
against an unfaithful nation.
Rescue me from those who are
deceitful and wicked.
What is an unfaithful nation? Would it look like our nation? I don’t know but I do know this — I want God to vincidate me.
It’s okay to ask God for that.
“Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.” Yes, please Lord. I want the same as King David.
David goes on in that chapter to say that he felt rejected by God and that he was feeling oppressed by his enemy. He then says, “Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me.” Psalms 43:3.
Oh, father, we come before you today and seek your vindication in our circumstances. We pray that you would send your light and faithful care to us. Please lead us as we go. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Let God help you find yourself today. #UCU (You See YOU)
