reason for our rescue

Psalm 57:5 God, be exalted above the sky; let your glory be over the whole land.

reason for our rescue

Right in the middle of a prayer ridden with anxiety, in which the psalmist cries out because he is surrounding by hungry lions ready to eat him — he stops and prays for God’s exaltation.

The reason any of us can come to God for help is that we are connected to him by covenant. Our covenant with Christ is reason enough for us to pray for his deliverance during hard times, because he wants to be exalted by our rescue.

Lord, rescue us, and so glorify your name, which we have taken.
