“The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,
And his ears are open unto their cry.” Psalm 34:15
Frankly, I find the context of this Psalm a bit difficult to comprehend – the title tells us that it was when David “changed his behavior before Abimelech” – a euphemistic way of saying that he acted like a raving madman in order to convince his enemies that he was no threat to them, thus escaping the very imminent danger facing him.
Hardly the behavior of a man trusting in his God – the dignified manner in which we might expect a king in waiting to behave! But then, how often do we act in self-reliance, how often fail to behave as sons of the King?
