It’s been 3,000 years since David penned the majority of the book of Psalms, but oh how relevant his words still are today! Have you ever felt the way that David felt in Psalm 56? Could these be your words? “Man would swallow me up…he oppresses me…My enemies hound me all day…fight against me…All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.” Have you ever felt that “everyone” and “everything” was against you?
If the words above could be your words, then the rest of the words in Psalm 56 need to be your words, too. Write these words on your heart and then shout them to your God, “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?…You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me.”
Read Psalm 56. Meditate on Psalm 56. Then, pray Psalm 56.
