GOD IS MY STRENGTH AND FORTRESS
Keywords 59:10
my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat
over those who slander me.
1. Saul sent men to watch David’s house and kill him. These men were wicked, for they
were attempting to assassinate God’s anointed king.
Throughout this trial, David depended on God and honored him. He refused to
take matters into his own hands. Instead, he recognized God as his deliverer
and fortress. Being innocent, he knew that God would hear his appeal because
our God is a righteous God. He also knew that God was fully aware of his
situation and even heard the boasts of his enemies. They were like snarling
dogs in the night, but God laughed at them. They were nothing to him. David
says, “You are my strength, I watch for you…” This is the way we are to face all our trials. Trust
in God and watch for him. His steadfast love will never fail.
2. God would go before David and give him the victory.
He would be David’s shield and
protect him from all harm. By letting the words and pride of Saul and his men
be their downfall, it would teach Israel a valuable lesson. Their fate would
make it clear that God is the one who rules over Jacob. Although the dogs were
still snarling and prowling at night, David would sing the Lord’s praise in the morning. He knew that he could rely on
God. There is no doubt that we will experience many trials in our lives. During
each of them, remember that the Lord is our strength.
Prayer Father, our
trust is in you alone.
One Word God will
deliver you
