Psalms 35: 17: "Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, My precious life from the lions." In the psalm, David brings attention to the three parties involved: himself, his enemies and God. Whenever you have someone come against you, it is always a three way relationship. God will take action, yet sometimes it seems slow to us. Here, David is asking God a question. How long will you look at my situation and not take action? We can sometimes feel this way when we are troubled by those that attack us with slander and deceit. However, we must trust the Sovereignty of God. Nothing happens to us that does not first pass by the throne room of heaven. That provides me much comfort. God will take action in His time. And, His timing is always the best timing. However, while you are waiting for that deliverance, it is acceptable to cry out to the LORD, "How long?" Know that He hears you and He will move when it will bring Him the most glory from the situation. That should enable you to wait and trust.
