“As long as I live, I will pray to you” Psalm 63:4 CEV
David was always in danger for the 15 years between when he was chosen to be king and when he actually became king. Saul was in a continual pursuit of David but God delivered him each and every time. David had to maintain awareness not only during the day as he fled Saul but at night as well. David goes on and becomes king and rules, and has a son, Absalom. David then is in danger again but this time because Absalom is an impatient person and wants to become king now instead of waiting for David to die naturally. Through all of this David didn’t stop communicating with God because of his circumstances. He had his mind on God.
We can do that as well, have our minds and thoughts on God continually. It should not matter if we are in the best situation we can be in or we are in trouble or danger, if we keep our minds on God, our attitudes change. God comforts us. We need to maintain communication with God always, we need to praise Him at all times. He is our maker and author of our faith.
I pray that we can all say ‘As long as I live, I will pray to you’.
