Ps 10:14 ...The helpless commits himself to You...
A principle with regard to salvation can be gleaned from this verse. It is an established principle that only those who realize and are painfully aware of their helplessness in saving themselves commit their salvation wholly and entirely to the Savior.
It is only when we realize that we are weak that we look for Another who can be strong for us. It is only when we become aware that we can't stand on our own that we lean on Another.
God gave us the Ten Commandments and commanded us to obey it perfectly in order for us to learn and realize that we are helpless and powerless in ourselves to obey it in its entirety perfectly from the inside out. The intention is to humble us. To make us see our helplessness.
It is only then that we are ready to totally commit, rely, have faith and throw ourselves to the finished perfect work of the Savior on the cross for our salvation. "The helpless commits himself to You."
