The Trust of King David
"HaShem my G-d, in You I put my trust, save me from all my pursuers and rescue me." (Tehillim 7:2) Instinctively, if a child is in need of help or protection, he intuitively turns to his parents for their assistance. The child's trust in his parents, inspires them even more to do everything in their power to insure the well-being of their child. So too, King David sensed that HaShem loved him unconditionally. Therefore, he placed his trust and security in the hands of HaShem's infinite compassion. As soon as he turned to HaShem for his protection, HaShem awakened new dimensions of mercy and came to his rescue. Lesson: When we recognize HaShem's love for us, we trust Him with our full hearts. He will inevitably save us from all of our troubles. Visualization: Envision King David playing his harp and singing to HaShem with great joy, thanking HaShem for His endless kindnesses that He showers upon him. Recognize HaShem's goodness and strengthen your trust in HaShem. Be confident that HaShem will surround you with love and protection.
