Our God dwells in the heavens and rules the earth, it is only in Him that we find help.
He created all things and sustains them. He alone is fixed and true,
steady and sure. He indeed is above all things.
We look to Him, totally dependent upon Him for our all. As a servant is dependent on
their master for everything, so are we on our God.
I noted that the female servant is singled out. In Biblical times, unmarried women with no family had no honorable way to earn a living. They were prostitutes or beggars. The female slave had nothing if not for her mistress. It would have been a blessing to be provided for in this manner I suppose. So we are to God. Completely dependent on him....for our life, our substance.
So we wait on Him. We trust Him......and cry for mercy. Mercy from the enemy around us.
Mercy from the wiles of the tempter. For we are weary travelers through life. In, but not of, the world. Sojourners but for a while.
We have had more than enough of watching the wicked at ease and flourish while we reap trouble in this world for serving the living God. But He is our strong tower. We run to Him for comfort.
