Meditation Psalm 59: Trust in the Lord

Deliver me from my enemies, O God;

protect me from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from evildoers

and save me from bloodthirsty men.

See how they lie in wait for me!

Fierce men conspire against me

for no offense or sin of mine, O Lord.

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.

Arise to help me; look on my plight!

But you, O Lord, laugh at them;

you scoff at all those nations.

O my Strength, I sing praise to you;

you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
(Psalm 59:1-4, 8, 17 NIV84)

This one is pretty simple but not easy: trust in the Lord our God. Trust not in our own strength or plans. But call to God and cry out in prayer. And we can rely on God to deliver us eternally an presently if it is for our good and his glory. Because sometimes like Joseph being sold by his brothers to Egypt Gld allows us into seeming darkness for his greater good and eventually for our good.

Lord, help me to trust in you more and more. God you have proven yourself faithful again and again to me and others. Thank you Lord.
Amen
