David prays:

“You are my strength; I wait for You to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress.

In His unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.” Psalm 59:9-10

David is in a tough spot. Saul, his king and trusted leader has betrayed him and is out to murder him. He has to flee his home, his wife and his dear friend. Saul is relentless in his pursuit of David, pulling out all stops.

David says, “My enemies come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets.”

Since he refuses to fight his king, he is running and hiding in caves like a wild animal.

My enemies may not be a dranged king, or a vast army, but things like worry, anxiety, fretting, anger, grumbling and complaining come against me just as relentless and as powerful. Saten uses all these things to discourage me, to get my mind off Jesus, to weaken my faith to discredit my testimony. So what should I do?

As David says: “But as for me, I will sing about Your powers. Each morning I will sing with JOY about Your unfailling love. For You have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.

Oh my Strength, to You I sing praises, for You, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.” Psalm 59″15-17

I sing, I praise and I pray. For when I’m in a tough spot, my God will stand with me. He may not take the situationa away, but He will fight for me. He will always be my champion. He is my refuge, my strength and my place of safety. Instead of letting my enemies stomp me, I will fight back with JOY.
