OPENING PRAYER: Dear Lord, I pray that you sanctify my spirit, soul and body as I read your word in Jesus name.
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Psalms 59:1-17
Question for Reflection
• Q 6: Is there any prayer for me to remember?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 15th October 2023 OUTLINE:
This psalm is associated with the incident in 1 Samuel 19:11-17. Saul had sent guards to capture and kill David but his wife, Michal let him escape overnight.
See the refrain that is echoed, ‘Each evening they came back….” David likens the blood thirsty people to a pack of wild dogs that prowl the street at night seeking some helpless victim they can attack and tear to pieces (vs.6-7). David’s personal prayer to God was for him to destroy them in such a way that all will know it is a direct judgment from the righteous God. Whatever real or perceived enemy we may have, we should always remember that God is our refuge in times of trouble (v.16b). Those who are oppressed can trust in the justice of God and in His steadfast love (vs.10,17). It is however, not for us to seek the destruction of our enemies (Matthew 5:43-45).
Practice/Word Application
So: How do you behave in the face of serious threat to your life?
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Lord, help me never to doubt your omnipotent power even in the face of the stiffest crisis. Thank you for always proving yourself afresh to me.
