Psalm 64:1a Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint….
Who can understand the schemes of man? Personally, I can’t even understand my own actions and reactions half of the time. I certainly don’t have any insight into why other people act the way they do. But I cling to the sovereignty of my Savior, and I claim the power of Genesis 50:20: “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good….”
Psalm 64:1b …protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
Just like David in this psalm, I cry out to God to thwart the schemes of my enemies. What else can we do in times of trouble but call on our Savior and trust in His provision and protection, clinging to Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Psalm 64:10a The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You that even when life doesn’t makes sense, You do. Thank You that I can pour out my heart and my fears to You and You hear me. Help me, Lord, to understand Your will for me in all circumstances. Use all things for Your glory. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 64:10b …all the upright in heart will glory in Him!
Have a blessed day.
