Psalm 56
David was being pursued by the Philistines. As always he calls upon the Lord. Note that he asks God to be merciful to him. God is merciful, and God’s mercy is the basis for our calling on Him and our believing that He will answer, it is not founded in any righteousness of our own.The enemies were full of pride, the things, or people, that attack us may well be boastful and proud, this should not worry us for God opposes the proud. We may well feel afraid, but when we are we should put our trust in God. If God is for us, who can be against us?
The enemies may well twist our words, and conspire against us in all sorts of ways, but God will not let them escape.
David calls on God to record his misery, he wants God to be aware of what is happening to him, and God is aware. The antidote to fear is to put our trust in the Lord.\david knows that he will walk before God in the light of life. May we too move from darkness to light.
