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! O LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors. Psalm 59:1-5

David was a man who did God's work, and gave all the glory to God. Saul on the other hand was a wicked man and couldn't stand anyone else getting credit for anything. Even things he didn't do, he wanted to be known for! Saul had decided he wanted his son-in-law killed out of pure fear, hatred and jealousy. David fled to safety and this Psalm was written as David watched Saul's men looking for him.

It's amazing to see how having true FAITH in God will allow us to see His amazing works! God knows our hearts and fears. He knows when we are guilty and when we aren't. He goes before us in every battle and knows the outcome. He knows what our enemies are doing and saying. He is our Protector. Our Provider. We just need to ask and believe in Him, to allow Him to go before us and prepare the way to victory.

Father, it is my prayer that when You deliver me from the Goliath situations of life, I remember to be thankful to You. Your works are NOT my works and I don't want to take credit for them. Help me to remember that you are always there for me, that I am not alone when I sometimes feel like it. I know you're there! You haven't forgotten about me.
Thank you for loving me.
