Psalm 57:2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me. 

David prayed for safety; he also acknowledged God’s power and authority. When he prayed that God “performs all things” he is giving God the credit for making all things happen. That does not mean God does everything in the way David wants; it is saying that David knows his life is the result of God’s will and His involvement in his life.

David knew God was in control of all things, including his life. Because of that, David knew God would fulfill all His promises and His will in his life. As Christians we must know and believe God will fulfill His will in our lives and fulfill every promise He has made to us. Philippians 2:13 reminds us of this, “for it is God who works in you both to His will and to do for His good pleasure”. “His grace works in the lives of His faithful followers to produce in them both the desire and the power to do His will” (Living in the Spirit Study Bible). We just need to be obedient and walk with Him in faith.

David Wilkerson wrote the following in a devotion many years ago. I would like you to read it and know that God is faithful to us. He wants to accomplish His will in our lives. Wilkerson’s writing is a great reminder that God loves you very much.

I believe in a God who performs,
Who can deliver my feet from falling
And sustain me through every calamity.
When I am afraid I will trust in Him.
He will deliver my soul in peace
From the battle that is against me.

I will call on God
And He will save me.
He will bottle my tears
And mark my every step.
When I cry to Him,
My enemies will be turned back
Because God is for me.
In Him I put my trust.
I will not fear what man can do unto me;
My heart is fixed.
I will sing and give praise;
My soul shall be satisfied.

He will bring me through fire and flood
Into a desired haven.
He will cause His face to shine upon me
And daily load me with His benefits.
His face He will not hide,
But will hear me speedily.
He will never put me to confusion,
For He has given commandment to save me—
Because God is for me.
