Psalms 3
The beginning of this Psalm we see David calling out about the number of people who are against him. This song was one of David’s that he wrote when Absalom came against him to overthrow the kingdom. It was a dark time for David and the question comes from David’s heart. However, how often do we also ask this question?
There are times when it seems like we want to hand our heads and say, “What next.” Yet the truth be told we don’t want the answer to that questions because we fear the answer. Something else is going to go wrong. One not about the Psalms is they reflect the human condition honestly and the honest feeling here is bordering on despair.
Yet at the end of this chapter, we see that in spite of it all David knows who brings salvation. “Salvation belongs to the Lord!” We might receive help from others, but ultimately lasting salvation only comes from God.
