Psalm 59:16–17 (ESV) —
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the
morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
NOTE: It seems like
much of David's life is on the run or hiding from men determined to kill him.
He spent years on the run. It took a lot of his energy. I'm sure he wanted to
live a normal life again. David sang of two things, God's strength, and God's steadfast
love. Because of those two things, he could call God his fortress -- his
strength because the walls could not be broken down and his love because God
would never give up on him. There is a lot happening right now in the world,
but the truths that David relied upon are the same truths available to us
today.
PRAYER: Father, you
are my strength and you love me completely. And these two things will never
change. Protect me from the world and the evil. I know evil days are coming,
but I guess none of us really want to see it happen. Lord, I do want your will.
Have mercy on me. Have mercy on my family in these days of upheaval and evil.
