Psalm 56- Fighting For Me

 ”You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

David’s psalm here was written when he was taken by his enemy.  They already had him in their hands, so he is facing actual fear of death.  In the middle of all his trouble he is reminded of the most important thing: God is for him!  

God is fighting for David…God is on his side. God knows everything about him including what he is crying about, where he has ever been and what is best for David!  We can actually have this same confidence, knowing that God is for us!!!

Lord, you have blessed us beyond understanding.  You know the depth of our sadness, the highs of our delight and the desires of our heart.  You know us perfectly, far better than we know ourselves.  Give me the faith to trust You with every situation, because You care for me and You are fighting for me!
