Psalm 9: God - The Stronghold for the Oppressed

    The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed,
        a stronghold in times of trouble.
    And those who know your name put their trust in you,
        for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
(Psalm 9:9-10 ESV)

 Where do you turn in times of trouble? When you are going through a rough patch and you aren't sure how things are going to turn out, how do you respond?

David's response was to turn to God. He describes God as a fortress where he could run to where he knew nothing could hurt him. He knew that if he put his trust in God, that God would not forsake him.

God is always there for those who seek Him and who put their trust in Him. He is like an impenetrable stronghold that we can run to in times of trouble. We can have confidence that our trust in Him is not misplaced. He is there for us, and He will never forsake us.
