But how often do we cry out?
David in Psalm 57 put it this way: I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
What is David sure of? He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
Ever feel trampled on? Cry out.
Feel the storms of destruction in your life? Cry out.
Sense your prayers bouncing off the ceiling back into your face? Cry out again and again.
He is the God who fulfills His purpose for me. He is my El-Elyon, God Most High, who rules over heaven and earth and my life. All that He does is good and just and right.
Psalm 138 comforts me: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me . . .
How can we be sure? His right hand, Jesus Christ, has already done the delivering. At the cross I was delivered from the domain of darkness, and transferred to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14).
Cry out to your El-Elyon, God Most High, who truly is fulfilling His purpose for you.
