Psalm 86:10 Reflection

Are you hurting, struggling, or stressed? If so, are you crying out to God? David models that rather than continuing in our hurt, struggle, or stress, we should cry to Him. Why should we? Because God is a great God. He can do wondrous, matchless things. As David points out in his prayer, “You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God” (Psalm 86:10).

David’s words are not mindlessly spoken. Rather, they are heartfelt and spoken in the midst of his afflictions and needs. When David says, “You are great and do wondrous deeds,” he is professing his trust in God’s greatness. He is looking at the heavens and saying, “You alone are God. I know nothing is too difficult for You. I know You can help, so do!” 

Today, we can re-affirm our faith in God’s greatness. We can pray the words David prayed. We can be assured our great God hears us. We can walk out our faith in God’s greatness and ability to do wondrous deeds with a hopeful heart.  

Heavenly Father, I profess with David, “You alone are GREAT and do wondrous deeds. You alone are God.” Thank You for hearing my prayers and for doing wondrous deeds beyond my imagination.
