Psalm 119:94 | “I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.”

The psalmist speaks with a humble boldness that only faith can produce. Because the word of God has given him life and sustained him through every trial, he can say with confidence, “I am yours.” These three simple words are the foundation of his courage and the anchor of his hope. He knows whose he is. He knows who holds him. So he cries out for rescue, asking God to save him and deliver him from those who seek to destroy him. If an earthly father will go to great lengths to save his child, how much more will the Lord save those who belong to him. Spurgeon writes, “If we are conscious that we are the Lord’s we may be confident that he will save us. We are the Lord’s by creation, election, redemption, surrender, and acceptance, and hence our firm hope and assured belief that he will save us.” To know we are his is to stand on unshakable ground. Because we belong to God, we may come to him with the same assurance. The One who gave us life through his word will not abandon us in our need. He will keep us, protect us, and finish the work he began. To say “I am yours” is to rest our whole weight on the steadfast love of the Lord, trusting that he will save all who seek him.
