Psalm 109

Help me, LORD my God;
save me according to
your faithful love
so that they may know that this is
your hand
and that you, LORD have done it.

This Psalm reveals David’s heart, at its rawest, to us. Sorta hard to read and understand. David calls on God to absolutely crush, destroy, wipe out, and curse the wicked one who has accused him and treated him poorly.

But, as David turns to ask God also for blessing on his own life, he does so with the humility that recognizes an important truth: salvation from God is “according to His faithful love.” God saves us, not because of our righteousness or anything that is due us.

God saves us out of His faithful love toward us. Salvation is ours only by grace through the mercy of a God who loves us.

Lord, may my prayers, my attitude be like David’s in that moment. Save me according to your faithfulness.

Praise the Lord!
