David prays that God would be his surety and would ensure his well-being, that he would have understanding to know the testimonies of God, to recognise the things that God does.
Despite the desperation of his pleas for the hand of God to be on his life for his good David still realises that God does everything at the proper time, and He will need to sometimes wait for the proper season for God to act.
I believe that all of us will have times in our lives when we really have reached the end of ourselves and it feels like the time for God to act. There arrives a time when we can’t push any longer. We have done all we can do, and now it’s time for God to do the rest.
This is certainly the case in prayer. We ask and then we wait. Sometimes we wait a short time and sometimes longer but we wait for God to meet us. The thing I know is no matter the timescale God does always meet us. He is our surety and our salvation. But in our waiting He also grants us understanding to know Him more, especially if we use our waiting to run to Him and His Word. His Word is always true and He is always faithful.
God, I pray that you would be surety to us for good. I pray that you would deal with us according to your mercy, and teach us your statutes. Would you give us more discernment and understanding, that we would know you better. May we desire you with our whole hearts, and live in your word because it is your word that keeps us on the right path.
