Psa 57:1-2, …BE MERCIFUL TO ME, O GOD, BE MERCIFUL TO ME! FOR MY SOUL TRUSTS IN YOU; AND IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS I WILL MAKE MY REFUGE, UNTIL THESE CALAMITIES HAVE PASSED BY. I will cry out to God Most High, To GOD WHO PERFORMS ALL THINGS FOR ME.
David was running for his life for over ten years, BUT HE TRUSTED IN THE LORD; ALWAYS ASKING FOR MERCI AND TO BE COVERED BY THE SHADOW OF HIS WINGS!
Mat 23:37, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! HOW OFTEN I WANTED TO GATHER YOUR CHILDREN TOGETHER, AS A HEN GATHERS HER CHICKS UNDER HER WINGS, BUT YOU WERE NOT WILLING!
The LORD wants to cover us with HIS merci, and bless us with HIS presence! HE has plan for each of us, BUT WE BLOCK THOSE BLESSINGS BY THE WAY WE LIVE! OUR SINS PUSHES HIM AWAY, AND WE DEPEND ON MONEY RATHER THAN THE LORD! DAVID SOUGHT THE LORD FOR HIS BLESSINGS AND MERCI, BUT DO WE SEEK HIM?
Hos 11:7, MY PEOPLE ARE BENT ON BACKSLIDING FROM ME. THOUGH THEY CALL TO THE MOST HIGH, NONE AT ALL EXALT HIM.
Jer 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Psa 57:4, My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
When your enemies seem like strong fierce lions, REMEMBER THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH MAKES THEM LOOK LIKE KITTENS!
Psa 57:5, BE EXALTED, O GOD, ABOVE THE HEAVENS; LET YOUR GLORY BE ABOVE ALL THE EARTH.
Like Daniel in the lion’s den, David was surround by them, but his focus was on the LORD! NEVER FOCUS ON THE STORMS OF LIFE, BUT OUR FOCUS SHOULD BE ON LORD HIMSELF! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED, FOR HE IS ABLE TO SUBDUE ANY STORM!
Mat 8:27, So the men marveled, saying, “WHO CAN THIS BE, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM?”
