“Not Ashamed” by Kirk Hunt

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

Psalms 25:20 KJV

David fled from his father-in-law like a criminal. King Saul viewed his loyalty, faithfulness and fidelity as crimes, fit only for death. Certainly, there's nothing like the fugitive life to teach you fear and paranoia.

Hunted as a fugitive, David did not despair. Unjustly accused, David did not lose faith. Despite these admirable responses, David remained human after all. David cried out for deliverance and confirmation.

Human men and women are hurt and battered at times. The storms and tempests of this life can stress and strain the best of us. It is at those times that our faith in God seems misplaced.

God's faithfulness is unending and immeasurable. No one who trusts in God will ever be disappointed. Still, during a long, sleepless night, it's too easy to wonder when His deliverance will arrive.

God is there. You will not be left “holding the bag.” God will not let you be ashamed.

Put your trust in Him. Stand and wait for His deliverance. It may take a while, but God will not let you be ashamed.

Think: Put your trust in God. No matter how it looks, He is in control.

Pray: “Lord, I choose to trust You. Don't let me be ashamed.”
