Psalm 59:16-17
But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge,
the God who shows me unfailing love.
David wrote this psalm when Saul had sent soldiers to watch his house in order to kill him. David was going through some serious stuff but he says something amazing. He says, 'as for me I will sing...' And what is he going to sing about? God's power!
He reminds himself that God is his refuge, his place of safety when he's distressed. He reminds himself that it's his God who will show him unfailing love no matter what trials he has to go through, that he has a place of refuge to run to in the direst of circumstances, no matter how bombarded he feels.
Now we may not have soldiers outside our house wanting to kill us but we can be encouraged by David to know we have the exact same God he did and He loves us just as unfailingly. We have the same refuge David did, the same place of safety when we're distressed.
So let's do as David did and sing God's praises, sing about His awesome, delivering power and each morning sing with joy about God's love for us and we'll see God deliver us too.😊
