Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless. With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes (Psalm 60:11-12 CSB). Humans are stubborn creatures. When we face problems, we often look for solutions within ourselves, and our culture is quick to tell us that we...

But I will sing of your strength and will joyfully proclaim your faithful love in the morning. For you have been a stronghold for me, a refuge in my day of trouble (Psalm 59:16 CSB).  David wrote this Psalm as men were outside his house waiting to kill him. Even at...

My heart shudders within me; terrors of death sweep over me. Fear and trembling grip me; horror has overwhelmed me. But I will trust in you. (Psalm 55:4-5, 23b CSB)  This isn’t exactly an upbeat Psalm. The fear and anxiety that David is feeling is palpable, yet before he gets...

God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life (Psalm 54:4 CSB).  David wrote this Psalm when everything seemed hopeless. He was betrayed and likely scared of what would happen next. But David didn’t panic. Instead, he turned to God because he recognized that God was not...
