2 Kings 19:19 "Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only".
How many times in life are we in a situation from which we see no hope? When all possible doors are closed. And yet we have survived and recovered. It could be a health crisis, financial doom, some natural event (like covid) or some professional problem. When everyone lets us down our final stop is before our God. At the time we pray and hope and beseech God and beg for a rescue. And when that happens, which may not be as we had expected, we seldom look back more than a couple of times.
My family and I were saved from being touched by the Covid in such an unexpected way that it was nothing short of a miracle. Yet it had a very negative impact financially. Should I be praising God vociferously for being saved or let that great feeling of a miracle and gratitude be pulled down by the weight of the financial losses? I am sure nearly all of us face such dilemmas in our lives.
Psalms 30:8 says - "I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication."
Yes, we pray and hope, but it is also our duty to shout with joy to the world of His saving and His grace.
The last line of the quoted verse is clearly laying out an instruction (and this is repeated many times) - ..."that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only".
Why should God and His divine intervention save me? Because He loves me and so that "To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever". Psalms 30:12
