Psalm 119:41-42
(41) Let thy mercies come also
unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
According
to God's Word, He has promised salvation. According to God's Word, He has
promised mercy. It is not arrogant or prideful to ask the Lord for what He has
promised ("Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 - "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7). How many of
God's blessings are we missing out because we're not asking? because we're not
asking for Him to send them to us?
(42) So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
God's
Word gives the answer for those who test us (as Ephesians 6:17 indicates this
weapon, "And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:") -
but it is only useful if we trust in God's Word. If we doubt His Word, then
this weapon is then in vain. The question is not "Has God given us
adequate answers?" but "Do I trust in the answers God has
given?"
