When we face trouble, we may be able to find shelter and rest in other distractions, but God is the only place we find eternal peace if we look to Him and trust in His perfect plan. David recognized this in Psalm 62:2, He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. There is no doubt about who alone David felt was his protector. Let this be an example to us when we face trouble. God will never leave us. We may lose focus on Him, but He will never lose focus on us.

In Psalm 59, David took the time to praise God for protection during times of persecution. In Psalm 59:17 he says, O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God. David calls God his provider of strength and his fortress where he could find comfort. God is this for us as well. When we feel alone and lack the strength to face rouble in this world, God is there to provide protection and strength for us to face it all.

Psalm 58 was written by David when justice was twisted by men who were supposed to be in authority. David prayed for justice when there was no sign of justice to be found. David’s example to us is to rejoice in knowing justice will triumph in the end because God’s judgement is complete and fair. Psalm 57:11 summarizes with, Then men will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

In today’s Psalm, David shows that even when facing trials, his faith is strong. In Psalm 57:7 David says, My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music! Though our hearts may be heavy when we struggle, God’s strength never falters. We can rest firmly in His protects and praise Him through it all.

Fear is normal; we all feel it at some point in our lives. Even David felt fear. However, in Psalm 56:3 David says, When I am afraid, I will trust in you. David knew that mortal man could only do so much and God was his protector. His enemies may win a battle on occasion, but the war would be won by God in the end.

In today’s reading, David says in the first part of Psalm 53:1, The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” To deny the existence of God is to ignore the obvious. It is easier to deny His existence than to accept His presence in our lives. I am thankful for my personal relationship with God and for His involvement in my life. Without Him I would not be who I am today.

Our lives are limited and not eternal by nature. It it through the sacrifice of Christ that we are granted eternal life. Psalm 49:8-9 says, 8 The ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough – 9 that he should live on forever and not see decay. Back in the days of this Psalm, slaves could only be set free by being redeemed or ransomed (someone paying the price); it was a costly endeavor. But through Christ, He paid the price and set each of us free if we simply accept His gift of eternal salvation.

God never leave us and He always stands by our side in all circumstances. Psalm 48:14 says, For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. It may feel as though we are alone at times, but by faith God will guide us if we are open to His leading in our lives.

While fear is a natural emotion, we can rest assured we are never alone when we have a relationship with God. Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. God is always present whether we feel His presence or not. Trust in Him and know He never leaves us and is always by our side.

It is not always easy to do the right thing. But when we do what is right, we are justified from fallout. In Psalm 43:1 the psalmist says, Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men. God’s acceptance of our actions is all the justification we need.
