This psalm was written by David when King Saul sent soldiers to watch his house in order to kill him! Not your average sort of day! David had some hairy experiences and yet despite them all he still managed to keep singing and praising his God even when his back was against the wall!
Isn’t it strange how we sometimes struggle to be joyful and praise God even when everything is all right! Do you ever feel like that? You just feel sort of grumpy for no reason, or out of sorts and you know the enemy is trying to pull you down. You don’t feel like singing, you’ve lost your ‘singyness’!🙂
David had plenty of reasons to feel disgruntled and yet here he is singing about God’s power and His unfailing love. He remembers how God has always rescued him before and been his place of safety when he’s distressed. He reminds himself that his strength to face his enemies comes from God whose love has always held him steady and never failed him.
David’s God is our God so on those days when we feel a bit down, let’s learn from this strong man of God and do what He did. Remind ourselves of how much God still loves us, and how we can go to Him day and night to keep us safe and strengthen us, especially when we’re distressed.
We know praise defeats the enemy so if we need lifting up or an injection of joy today let’s put on some praise music and sing, and give God the praise and thanks He’s due, not least for His amazing, unfailing love. Sing and sing some more.😊
This song might help stir up the joy.😊 https://youtu.be/raFnjGVkHe8?si=QPyJR15s1Gvj3ioM
