Psalm 56:1-7 – 1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.
2 My enemies would hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3 Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
4 In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
In reading this it really reminds me that as Truth is rejected, the more God’s Word and His ways are scorned. We need to continue to stand our ground because in the last days it’s not going to get better. Positive thinking doesn’t change the reality of where everything is heading.
The middle verses remind us that we need to trust, praise and remember there is nothing that flesh can do in the long run of eternity. That is in the hands of God when we all stand in front of Him. Do your best to present all you can in preparation for that day. Everything matters.
