Psalm say You are a good man, but I say You are God...

As I re-read through psalm3 today, I was reminded that the book of psalms is a very encouraging book in the bible. In psalm 3, it really shows how God is my deliverer, my shepherd, a God that I can cast all my worries on for there is no problem ever too big for Him.

The psalm starts off by showing the many persecutions that David faced when he fled from his son Absalom. Even when many said to him that God will not deliver him, he continues to persevere on. He declares that God is his shield who will answer him whenever he cries out, the Lord who sustains him. Because the Lord is by his side, he will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against him on every side.

I was really encouraged by this psalm as it reminded me of the persecutions I faced as a Christian a couple of weeks back and how God not only delivered me but also turn that situation into a complete blessing for me. He is a God who answers to our cry, a God who we can fully rely on. I stand firm in my faith because I know that God is always by my side, for He will never forsake me. Even as the submission of my project is due on Friday, I have faith that God will see me through this time of completing my project as He has always done.

For blessed are those who take refuge in Him, and He honours those who draw close to Him. Be blessed by God…
