Wednesday Night I ministered from Psalm 3. This Psalm is believed to have been composed when David was going through the crises of him leaving Jerusalem. We all have crises in our lives. Life is filled with such times. As you read Psalm 3 you are allowed to see as David struggles with the situation at hand and in the midst of it all he turns to the Lord.
Verses 5 and 6 are powerful! "I lay down and slept, I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. 6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side" (nlt).
How was David able to do this, especially considering the crises he was going through? The answer is found in the fact that he knew the Lord was watching over Him. This knowledge gave David the confidence he needed going through this tough time in his life. Knowledge is power, and especially Divine Revelation. What you notice in this Psalm is, this confidence that David exhibited flowed out of the reality of the knowledge of knowing "the Lord is watching over me."
My prayer for you and myself today is, Lord fill us, your people, with this knowledge, the revelation of knowing you are watching over us; and, may it not be simply be a book knowledge. May we know it deep in our spirit so that we may live with such confidence. Great things are ahead of those who live with such confidence and purpose.
This is today,
Pastor Gary
