Psalm Seven is a cry for defense! When someone or a group of people spread gossip about you that is false and you yourself are helpless, remember that your God is a just Judge who will punish those who persecute the innocent! You may not physically see the work that God is doing but trust His Word that those who contend with you, must contend with Him!(Psalm 35:1)
Today's Psalm gives us the confidence and armor to stand firm in our faith! The writer (David) "knows" that God is his refuge but he still "feels" frightened. We will always feel fear, yet we must know with full assurance how to take up the Word of God (the sword of the Spirit) and use it with unshakable faith! In verses 3-6, David asks God to search his heart for innocence or guilt so that he can pray with a clear conscience before the Almighty King. Our righteous God searches the minds and hearts of all people then judges accordingly to our good or evil intentions.
We never need to feel unprotected or insecure because THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, "God Most High is my shield! It is He who saves the upright in heart!" My God says, "Those who are pregnant with evil, conceive trouble and give birth to disillusionment....the trouble they cause will recoil back on them and their violence will come down upon their own heads!" So, let's give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness! Sing praises to His name for we serve a just God!
Today is Good Friday....Remember that Jesus didn't have to die, He chose to die.....for you.
