David in his Psalms - Psalm 3 (B)

Read: Psalm 3: 5-8, 4: 8, 121: 1

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

Psalm 3: 5



        Yesterday, the mechanic came and saw my car's engine which was false one. It will cost me 1,400 USD, but I put my HOPE in God. Sorry for not writing yesterday. There were no time to do it.

         Today, we will finish Psalm 3: 5-8 with a few principles as below:

(4)  Worry Not for sleeping. (V 5)

        "I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me." David trusted God so much, even his son Absalom's army attacked him and his household. But he did not worry and laid down and slept, then he wake again, the reason was knowing God who sustains him. He knew the help which is from God alone. In Psalm 121: 1 said, "I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

        When we got worried or anxiety, we can not sleep. If we can trust God alone, we shall sleep well and wake up, then we knew that God is with us. In Psalm 4: 8 said, "I will lie down and sleep in peace for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." It is our prayer. May God bless our sleeping.

(5)  Fear Not, many armies against David. (V 6)

       "I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side." David did not fear with tens of thousands' army against him on every side. He knew that God will protect him and his household. Because he has had a intimate relationship with God.

       Many people have a lot of fear, fear of lost job, fear of children education, fear of money, fear of living details. They have forgotten God's power, and what he can do for us, for you and for our families. We praise Him what He has already done and He will finish all by his promises.

(6)  Deliver David. (V 7-8)

       "Arise, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people." David knew that God would arise and deliver him and strike all his enemies and his deliverance has come, may God bless on his people. Because David had confident in God.

       We need to trust God with all details. And God wants to listen our voices for prayer. He love us and he will give a best to us. Thank you for his promises. As Isaiah 55: 11 said, "So is my word (God's word) that Goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I (God) desire and achieve the purpose for which I send it."

See You Again!

God will deliver you from bad situation, Do you really trust Him?
