Wisdom Of Psalm 5!
"Lead me, O Lord, in Your
righteousness because of
my enemies."
Psalm 5: 8
Satan attacks us in ways we can hardly discern;
problems arise from nowhere; burdens descend
in multiples; sometimes our own emotions work
against us with layers of sadness, weariness,
or discouragement to radiate through us.
That’s when we need Psalm 5! David begins
by asking God to hear his voice (verses 1-3).
He reminds The Lord of His righteous power
(verses 4-6), and offers himself as worshiper
"Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness
because of my
enemies” (verses 7-8).
David describes his enemies to the Lord,
and then he exhorts himself and all of us
to rejoice and put our trust in our
Almighty God (verses 9-12).
When we find ourselves attacked by enemies
of God, remember our Lord is in control. Do it
today by turning Psalm 5 to a personal prayer.
Remember God’s character of
faithfulness and
remind yourself of His constant care. Make up
your mind to rejoice today.
"we must engage and stir up ourselves to the
duty of prayer, and encourage ourselves in it,
because
we shall not seek the Lord in vain."
Matthew Henry
