| Have you ever noticed that when something takes you by surprise, your first reaction is usually the wrong one? As spiritual as we think we are, we do not seem to be wired for the unexpected. Now, that does not mean we stay that way, or that our minds and spirits don't get in gear, and we so the right thing. It's just that when life throws us a curve ball, it takes us time to make an attitude adjustment.
This seems to be where we find King David and Israel in Psalm 60. if we put Scripture together from 2 Samuel 8,10, and 1 Chronicles 18, Dacid was winning battles and making a name for himself. While he was in the north fighting the Arameans(Syrians), the Edomites attacked Israel from the south and did a great deal of damage. As you read Psalm, in verses 1-5, you see people's reaction to the news.
They felt that God was angry with them and rejected them; they were stunned and dismayed. However, in verses 5-8, David got word from God that their enemies would be defeated and he was quick to believe it. He sent Joab and his brother Abishai and the army south, staying on God's promise and trusting the Lors for victory vv9-12. And tht is exactly what happened.
Davis trusted in The Lord, and The Lord honored his faith. The steams will come, but remember, God is faithful. He didnt save you to spoil your life. But to bless you and be glorified through you. When the surprises come, stand on the promises of God.
Psalm 60:12 Theough od we will do valiantly , For It is He who shall tread down our enemies.
For it is WITH God all things are possible.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You AMEN

Please remember that being a Christian does keep you from life trails, but your personal relationship with Jesus will PREPARE you to get THROUGH them. AMEN Have a BLESSED Thursday, Psalm 60: 6 God has spoke. in His holiness: I WILL REJOICE  |
