"Facing Challenges & Hardship" Psalm 54 - February 6, 2023 Read Here: https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/111/PSA.54.NIV
. Psalm 54:1-7, Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.[c] Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good. You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
Facing Adversity and Challenges – This is a Psalm of David. David has been betrayed and now finds himself rejected by his own men. David is calling on God is save him and vindicate him. He wants to be saved but he also wants justice. David’s attackers would have been pagans. We can see the contrast between how David and his attackers would have approached the situation. David is faithful and he seeks help from the one true God. He feels strongly that the Lord is on his side. God is his helper and sustainer.
This Psalm is a great reminder that when we suffer adversity at the hands of others, God is the place to go for help. We aren’t to go seek vengeance on our own. Rather, we are to lay it all before God and allow him to provide us with justice. He is our protector. He is the one who provides perfect justice.
Let’s pray…Lord Jesus, We thank you for your protection and help in times of deepest need. We lay our worries, our cares, and our fears at the throne of your grace. We trust you. In Your Name, Amen.
Our staff and leadership employ what's called the “S.O.A.P. Method”. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Each day, we read one or two chapters of Scripture and focus on one particular verse. We make some observations about how that verse touches us, discern how it applies to our lives, and offer a prayer related to what we have read. - Rev.
