The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him; and I am helped...

But concerning the difficulties, as is often the case, they've been coming at me from different directions at once. As a result, weariness will sometimes settle upon my body and mind. So this week I have been seeking encouragement from the book of Psalms.
In Psalm 28, for example, King David had been going through a period of obvious difficulty and was crying out to the Lord for help. David was even raising his hands toward heaven to beckon God to come and answer his pleas. God, of course, because He loved David, answered the king by giving
him divine strength to sustain him during such a challenging time.
Then, after experiencing the Lord's love and help, King David penned this psalm. David was able to recognize God's sustainment through his trial, and that it was the Lord who kept him both sane and safe. King David, therefore, gave thanks and praise unto the Lord in return. Now I find myself doing the same. God has been good to me as well.
