THE LORD DELIVERED ME FROM ALL OF MY TROUBLES

Proclamation:
“… I will praise Your name, Lord, for it is good.  You have delivered me from all of my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.”  Psalm 54:6-7 (NIV)

Explanation:
These words were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King David.  He began this psalm by praying to The Lord God. (Psalm 54:1-2) He wanted God to save him from his enemies. (Psalm 54:3)  He ends this psalm by stating that he will praise and thank The Lord for His goodness and for delivering him.

Application:
As believers we should not only pray and ask The Lord God for the things that we want, we should also anticipate them with confidence and behave as if our requests had already be answered and done.  The Lord knows what we need and what we want, and He has the power and ability to grant our requests. (Matthew 7:7-8)  If what we ask for will glorify Him, then it will be done. (James 4:3)
