”But you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up; then I will repay them. By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy does not shout in triumph over me. You supported me because of my integrity and set me in your presence forever. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen.“
Psalms 41:10-13 CSB
This Psalm is hard to read because David has someone or a group of people who don’t want good things for him. They seem to be ganging up on him and David is feeling discouraged…so he turns to the Lord.
David’s confidence in the Lord is obvious in the last few verses. He is reminding himself of truth, while he is experiencing unfair treatment, or at least anxiety about things out of his control. This is something that I must do at times as well! Remember all the ways God has blessed me, and what He thinks about me and most importantly who He is. Being with Him drives away all fear, anxiety and fear…His presence is a powerful peace balm!
Lord, help me to run to You at all times. I need to experience You for comfort rather than be distracted. I want to run to You at the first sign of fear or joy. God I love You and am so thankful that You desire to be with me and even invite me to be with You!
