Psalm
63- Rejoice in Your Savior
Imagine
the king having to leave his comfortable palace and flee to the wilderness to
hide! When you find yourself in a “wilderness” situation, take inventory of the
things that are important. David said: “I still have God.”
The
God you worship in the sanctuary is with you in your difficulty. If you hunger
and thirst after Him, He will satisfy you. Matthew 5:6
David
could not go to the altar and offer sacrifices to God, but he could lift his
hands and his voice as “spiritual sacrifices”. Heb. 13:15. When you praise God,
your inner person is nourished, and you are satisfied.
If
you cannot rejoice in your situation, you can always rejoice in your Savior.
His past help. His present protection and His future guidance. He hides you and
holds you, so you have nothing to fear.
Psalm
64 – Fear of the Enemy
The
king asked to be preserved not from the enemy but from the fear of the enemy.
Fear
and faith cannot live in the same heart. Mark 4:40. If the enemy can make you
afraid, he has almost won the battle. A calm heart makes a confident soldier.
The
enemy does not fear forming secret plans or leading open insurrections. Their
words are like swords and arrows, and they set hidden traps. It looks like
David is defeated.
“But
God” is the turning point in the story. When the enemy least expects it, God
shoots at them, and they fall into their own traps. “All men shall fear.” And
the righteous shall be glad.
“The
only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
“Nothing
is so much to be feared as fear.” Henry David Thoreau.
