David and His Enemies. Psalm 59 & Psalm 60

 

Psalm 59 David and His Enemies

 

David compared his enemies to dogs prowling around the city and growling over the garbage. Saul was after him again, (I Samuel 19:1-11), and only the Lord could deliver David. David’s wife helped him escape that time, but David faced several years of danger and exile before he received his rightful throne.  Twice he could have killed Saul, but he refused to do so. He knew that God would deal with his enemies in His way and in His time.

David had a song in the morning because God gave him joy in the morning. Things often look worse at night, so wait for the morning; God will give you the song of praise.

 

Psalm 60 – David & Joab

 

David and Joab were leading the armies of Israel against two enemies in the north when a third enemy invaded in the south. When you get one problem solved, another comes along! It seemed that God had abandoned His people and the end was near.

But David did not run away. Instead, he boldly lifted God’s banner of truth and listened for God’s word of assurance. The Lord is our banner, and we can trust Him to give the victory. God’s people are beloved not in themselves but in Jesus Christ, the Beloved One. In the midst of life’s battles, remember that God loves you.

God assured David that He was in control of the nations, so David and Joab stepped out by faith and won both battles.  When you feel broken, you are still His beloved. If you believe, you can boldly win the battle. March under God’s banner of truth.
