Walking with confidence

I’ve been meditating on the Psalms lately, and this is one passage that struck me yesterday, from Psalm 7:  Oh LORD My God, if I have done this:  If there is iniquity in my hands, if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue and overtake me; yes, let him trample my life to the earth, and lay my honour in the dust.

There are many passages like this in the Psalms, where David comes to God with so much confidence when he’s in trouble.  It’s obvious that he doesn’t just ignore God until he’s in trouble.  He is constantly talking to God, looking for guidance, looking for direction.  There’s no emergency confessions that need to be done when he needs help – it’s all been dealt with.  He knows that he’s right with God.  Why do we so often wait until we’re in trouble to talk to God?  If He really is God, we should know that He’s at our side every day.  Keep the bond strong, let’s let Him be a part of our everyday lives.
