Psalm 5
Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 12:33AM Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
This verse is in the context of battle; there are enemies, there are the wicked, and those who are bloodthirsty and deceitful - full of intrigue (not in a good way!) and rebellion. The enemies may not always be in full-battle armor, nor even be visible. Yet, they exist.
I can cry out, the Lord hears my voice, and I must wait in expectation. The Lord leads, blesses, and surrounds as with a shield.
I will meditate on these things tonight as I go to sleep...I have been forgetting to seek out, to deliberately look for joy. My God is my refuge, and in him will I find joy.
