A short devotional on Psalms 3:1-8.

Transcript

Good Morning! I'm your host Lonnie Wibberding, and you are listening to God Notes.  A daily devotional podcast sent out from sunny Southern California. 

Today is Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

We are in Psalms 3 today. The preamble says, "Morning Prayer of Trust in God. A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom."

Not a fun time. His own son trying to take his life, along with several of his former friends and counselors. We can only imagine the feelings of betrayal and grief.

But David, like so many times before, turns to his God. And God, as always, comes through.

Psalms 3:1-8 says:

3 Lord, how my enemies have increased!Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul,“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

3 But You, Lord, are a shield around me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.4 I was crying out to the Lord with my voice,And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah 5 I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of peopleWho have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, Lord; save me, my God!For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah

Sometimes all you have is God. 

But God is enough. He will give you enough strength to get through. There have been times in my life I wondered if I would get through. But I'm here. 

God is good. He will be there.

May God Bless your day. We'll talk again tomorrow.
