Day 165: Psalms 4:2 - 10:10

You know, it's hard to write about one subject from a passage like this one in the book of Psalms because there are so many short books and there is so much content in each one. It's interesting to note that there are definitely phrases and parts within these verses that seem to echo the laments of Job and how difficult it was to handle bad situations, and yet it seems that every time so far, when David spoke about the difficult times and the hardship that he faced, he also made sure to mention the fact the we serve a good and just God. David had a fantastic understanding of the fact that we serve a good and faithful God and even though things may not necessarily be going well for us at the moment, God is just and He will see to it that the situations change in order for us to live the life that God desires for us.

- Father, help me to have a proper understanding of You and the mercy that You have shown me. It's easy to look at the negative and gripe and complain about it, but we must never forget the mercies that You offer us that are new each and every morning. -
