”Let those who want my vindication shout for joy and be glad; let them continually say, “The Lord be exalted. He takes pleasure in his servant’s well-being.” And my tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praise all day long.“
Psalms 35:27-28 CSB
This Psalm is from David and is full of requests that God would save him from his enemies that are trying to kill him. For David this was actually his son attempting to Kill him and take his kingdom, or possibly Saul trying to kill his so that he wouldn’t take over as king. He had a rough life with all kinds of turmoil cause by his own sin or others…
Thankfully, I don’t know of anyone trying to kill me physically…but I know the enemy is working to assassinate my character and drag me into sin. I know my flesh is working to lure me into pursuing selfish desires. And I feel the worlds pull to conform to its ways. Everywhere I turn, destruction is lurking, ready to pull me into the darkness….
Lord, thank you for caring about me and desiring what is good for me. What a blessing to know that you actually take pleasure in protecting me and giving me what is best…not just the least necessary for me to get by. You have blessed me immeasurably and continue to protect me. I echo David and praise you with every step, all day long.
