Sunday Psalms

Lord my God, 

I seek refuge in you; 

save me 

from all my pursuers 

and rescue me, 

or they will tear me like a lion, 

ripping me apart 

with no one to rescue me.

Psalms 7:1-2 CSB

If there's a theme in these early Psalms it's David under pressure, feeling alone, seeking refuge in God. 

Needing that place of refuge. 

Lord my God, 

if I have done this, 

if there is injustice on my hands, 

if I have done harm to one at peace with me 

or have plundered my adversary without cause, may an enemy pursue and overtake me; 

may he trample me to the ground 

and leave my honor 

in the dust.

Selah

Psalms 7:3-5 CSB

And in this Psalm he cries out to God of his innocence, and if he's missed something, he lets God know in quite a flowery way what should happen. 

Why?

Because he is being unjustly accused of something. 

And he feels alone in it. 

Feels like he's under attack, going to be torn apart.

When we're feeling that way we can do what David did and cry out to God, unpack it all before Him, David gives us permission here.

He also invited God in to show him if there's something that he's done that he needs to put right. 

We can do that too. 

And if it's someone you know who is under pressure, stick with them, walk with them, let them know that they're not alone, be that place of refuge as they work things out.
