May 27 – God will go before – Psalm 59:10

 

 

 

 

     The setting behind this psalm is when David was running from Saul and Saul’s men who were watching David’s house to capture and kill him.  David states “Oh strength I wait for you.”  David has lost his strength.  He was in a moment of weakness and he needed the strength of the Lord.  The children song states, “I am weak but he is strong.”  When you are weak call upon the Lord and the strength of the Lord will come and then you will be able to do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

     David then states that God is his fortress, place of security and safety.  He is  the living God.  David lived in a world of idols but he knew God was real and he put his trust in God.  David then states that God would go before him and one day he would gloat over those that tried to capture of kill him.  David knew that God would settle the scores.  Remember you do not have to defend yourself God will.  Vengeance is my I will says the Lord.  So put your trust in the Lord this day.  He will protect and keep you.
