Jesus said “Blessed are those that hear the word of God and keep it”. Our faith is not passive. We are exhorted to “ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you”, knowing that God will respond to those that seek Him.
We are also exhorted to have our whole body full of light, single mindedly focused on serving God in an active, visible manner. David’s faith was like this, seeking God, praying for mercy, demonstrating his faith in God in the way he lived.
So let’s follow the example of David, who describes God as his rock, “my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge”.
