Psalm 17:1-15
OUTLINE
1. Search Me
2. Hear Me
3. Protect Me
4. Satisfy Me
Over the last few weeks, we have been in a series of messages called ''Triggers.'' We've been talking about overcoming the things in our lives that set us off. We've discussed how people, money and stress can adversely impact our lives. These three triggers can lead us to behaviors that are out of character under normal circumstances. There's that particular person in the office who can trigger us into a situation where we go somewhere that we would not usually go.
Today, I want to talk about another trigger, and that is the trigger of prayer. God wants us to turn to Him in moments of great adversity and struggle. When we face difficulties, it should trigger in us a desire to pray. We're going to look at one of the great Psalms of the Bible to help us to understand that.
But God wants us to be triggered to pray. A lot of times, when we have adversity that comes our way, we think about reacting, responding or saying things or doing certain things. But, how great would it be in our own life if we paused for a moment and talk to God every time that we were hurting and struggling?
Psalm 17, written by King David, outlines for us how we can talk to God in a moment of adversity. He's a fascinating biblical character, the second king of Israel. He was known as the man after God's own heart. One of the reasons that he was known for having such a heart for God is because he knew how to talk to God. If you want to be a person that has a heart for God, you have to speak to Him.
King David didn't have a comfortable life. He grew up as a shepherd boy in a very modest family. Yet God chose him to become the successor of King Saul, the first king of Israel. You might think becoming a king requires one to come from an elite family. David wasn't highly educated, nor did he come from riches. But the hand of God was on his life.
