As we're reading through
the Psalms, let's remember that the poem/songs are designed to lead us in
worship. We are being encouraged to adopt the same attitudes and pray the same
prayers as the lead worshiper. So, David, for example, is an example for us to
follow. How much do your prayers mirror the prayers of the psalmists? Do you
have the same combination of reality ("enemies") and hope ("steadfast love")?
The Psalmist knows he's in trouble, but also knows he's safe--both. It's our
current condition, too, and because of Christ, we have even greater assurance of
our Heavenly Father's protection.
