Psalm 22:5 - They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
What was it that our fathers did that brought them into the experience of God’s deliverance?
It was very little and very much. It was very little of human effort or initiative.
However, it was a great expression of faith in two parts. First, their attitude was one of trust – that resolute act of resting on God’s grace.
Second, the volitional action was crying out for mercy, help, and salvation in desperate resignation.
We who scatter ourselves about in frantic frenzies of futile flailing exclaim, “Is that all? It can’t be!”
It is.
Unless it becomes that alone, nothing we DO matters.
Only God saves.
