God is your source for everything. David, who was on the run, likely absconding from Saul, hid in a cave. His friends had abandoned him, and he had no human to turn to for comfort, so, knowing where his help comes from, he turned to God. We sometimes find ourselves in need of support, but it is not always convenient or even appropriate for us to reach out to others for help. Even if we did, most people have their own problems to deal with and are not always available. There was a time when, like David, I felt abandoned by my friends, church people, and my only help came from the Lord. But know this, there wasn’t anyone who could have helped me the way God did. Don’t wait until you are at your lowest; solidify a relationship with the Almighty now, so that if ever there comes a time when your friends fail you, know that you will never find a friend who has all the resources God has. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou artmy refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Psalms 142:3-5
