Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book, Out NOW!
Through the tough times in my life, the joy of the Lord strengthens me. This passage also assures me that all my needs are met. Jesus lovingly said that we don’t have to worry about what we will eat or what clothes to wear. God cares more for us than the birds of the field or the beautifully adorned lilies. I know my heavenly Father is watching over me. The more I experience the life’s sorrows, the more like David I have learned that I am never forsaken.
So many times when I have been engrossed in a fierce spiritual battle, I find myself using my own tactics and strategies to be victorious rather than have the confidence of David to know that God is my light and my salvation. He gives me strength and will be my refuge from any of life’s storms that come my way.
One thing I admire about King David is that he exudes almost every emotion possible. In Psalm chapter three, he describes disdain for the thousands of enemies who surround him, then tells how he cried out to the Lord for help.
