"O my Strength, I will
watch for you,
for you O God are my fortress.
My God in His steadfast love
will meet me;
God will let me look in triumph
on my enemies." Ps 59:10
When David wrote this, he was
on the run for his life, hiding in caves, trusting no one. Saul had sent
skilled assassins to kill him. But, instead of being overwhelmed by the
circumstance, David turns His heart to His covenant God. He cries out Oh
My Strength, I will watch for YOU! He is not focusing on the enemy, or His
fears, but watching for His faithful God, His Fortress! Probably mentally and
physically weary, I love His unwavering resolve. Let this be our prayer
today! Our Lord, Who is Strength, wants us to abide in Him and
allow His Word to abide in us. He lives in us, He is with us! Today, in
the secret place of prayer, the Lord Himself is our Strength. Call upon Him in
secret, for He is our fortress of safety, our Refuge, our very present Help in
time of need. Then David declares with complete certainty, "My God,
in His steadfast love, WILL MEET ME". Why such certainty? Because
David remembers God's faithfulness in meeting him every day up to
that day. Today let's remember the faithfulness of our Lord, who loves us,
never leaves us and dwells inside us. He will meet us and He will triumph over
our enemies by the power of His Word!
