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.
