In Psalm 59, Saul has ordered his soldiers to watch David’s house, with the orders to kill him. He could hear them outside. The chapter begins with what Davis “feels and sees.” He begins by crying out to God, “Rescue me from my enemies! They have set an ambush for me.” David goes into much detail about these soldiers that are watching for him. But when his focus changes, he feels the Holy spirit and says, God is his FORTRESS, his STRONGHOLD, like a huge wall of PROTECTION around him. Verse 9 says, “You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my FORTRESS.” And then David ends with verse 17 “O my STRENGTH, to YOU I sing praises, for you, God, are my REFUGE, the God who shows me unfailing love.”
I need to be constantly reminded of the fact that God is my fortress and once I see HIM for who He is, I realize once again He is here for me! I need to continually seek Him.
Today Lord, I thank you for reminding me once again that I am not alone and that you, O God, are here with me every step of the way. I love you Lord Jesus, Amen.
Smile God loves you, and so do I.
Now I need to “Sing for joy!”
