But I will sing of thy power; yea,
I will sing aloud of they mercy in the
morning: for thou hast been a defense
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Psalm 59:16
Right now, I could find dozens of things to complain about...
I will sing aloud of they mercy in the
morning: for thou hast been a defense
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Psalm 59:16
Right now, I could find dozens of things to complain about...
But I'm learning to give God thanks for every circumstance I find myself in.
Lately there's been an array of new trials in my life, situations which have come upon me suddenly and unexpectedly. They've come to test my faith. Yet each one is a battle that belongs to the Lord. However, I must do my part to stand with full confidence in Christ. And it is through His grace that I am to fight the "good fight of faith" (1 Timothy 6:12).
Furthermore, I've been looking at the life of King David. He had to face many trials in his lifetime, including some death-defying situations. Yet in the midst of all the strife and warfare which surrounded him, David always had something to sing about. He knew his God would be his defense as well as a refuge from trouble. The Lord faithfully delivered David and kept him from harm.
So the king would sing his praises of love for the God of Israel while God brought down David's enemies before his face. And I need to do likewise. I'm to sing aloud of the Lord's great mercy, and His power. And I'm to pray for those who seek my hurt.
