Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;
But God helped them anyway, commanded the clouds and gave orders that opened the gates of heaven.
This psalm is a prayer for deliverance from natural enemies and the verse before this explains that God’s people did not have faith and trust in God. But God helped them anyway. I don’t have to earn God’s help. I don’t have to pass the test, strengthen my weaknesses, correct my flaws, or snap out of it. I don’t even have to have faith and trust in God. God helps me anyway. What a relief! The faith and trust I muster please God because he wants me to turn to him, but it’s not a test. I can question and doubt and threaten. I can wallow or fight or rest. I can beg and plead and moan. I don’t have to worry about getting this right. God helps me anyway.
Lord, this verse is so powerful when I feel so powerless. Help me anyway. Amen.
