“But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay.” Psalms 70:5 NIV
King David wasn’t poor. Far from it indeed. He was good looking, a talented musician, a mighty warrior, and yes… a king! He had every chance to lean on his own strengths, but the key to king David was the fact he did the opposite: he leaned on God.
How? By seeing himself as poor. That was his secret. To focus on his scarcity he allowed God to become his provider. By focusing on his emptiness he was able to experience God as his fulfillment.
How we see ourselves dictates how we experience God. Let us take a page from king David and recognize we are the recipient and God is the giver, we are humans and God is God.
