Psalm 9:9-10The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for you. There are a couple of things that stand out to me. First, God never abandons us when we search for Him. Because He will never do this, we can trust in Him. This is a characteristic of God. He is the God Who Does Not Abandon You. I don’t know if there’s an official Hebrew name or word for that, but it’s a good name! The second thing that stood out to me is that the word searches is in present tense. We continually search for God. Have never abandoned is a different tense, saying that from the past to the present it has not happened. So, we continually search for Him and make Him our shelter and refuge. And He never abandons us. He never leaves us hanging or hides from us. He is a our shelter and our refuge, and He wants to be found by us. That’s pretty cool!
