God will fulfill his purpose for me

I call to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me. (Psalm 57:2)

I was thinking on those words this morning. Here was David, hiding from Saul in a cave. And yet he still trusted God would keep his promises and fulfill his purpose for David by making him king.

And ultimately, God did.

Not because David was always such a faithful guy.

But because that’s the kind of God he is.

As David put it,

For your faithful love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches the clouds. (Psalm 57:10)

That gives me hope.

I sometimes wonder how much of a difference I make in the lives around me.

But God will fulfill his purpose for me.

Not because of how faithful I am.

But because of how faithful he is.

That’s an amazing thing to ponder.

I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your faithful love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

God, be exalted above the heavens;
let your glory be over the whole earth. (Psalm 57:9-11)
