Psalms 55:1 (KJV) God Never Forsakes Us

Psalms 55:1 (KJV)
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

This Psalm has aspects that are ascribed to Christ and are clearly rightly so. But there are also aspects that may easily be applied to any believer seeking God in prayer and supplication.

Often are those times in life when prayer is our only recourse. In those times, the silence of God can seem like He is hiding Himself from us. In the most desperate of times it seems to us that God not only tarries his answer or is slow in visiting but that He is actively withholding Himself. An answer desperately needed and not swiftly supplied seems like a stroke against rather than no stroke at all.

Here we may return the Psalm to its Messianic modality and find personal comfort. Though it seemed as if God had hidden from Christ, we know it not to be the case.

• God’s love for Christ never failed
• God’s plan for Christ never faltered and 
• God’s hand on the circumstances never moved
  

When we feel like God is hiding we need only remember Christ and realize our God never leaves us or forsakes us. This must certainly mean He has not hidden from us.
