Bitter Betrayal

Psalm 55

Inspired thots

Poor David! He must have experienced the whole range of fiery darts in his life but nothing would equal that of a personal betrayal. As David mentioned, it is easier to deal with enemy attacks than a betrayal from those whom he befriended and trusted.

Betrayals can break trust and destroy hope creating a deep sense of disappointment. With a betrayal, one would wonder if sweet and good moments in the past were real or mean anything. Doubt sets in. It is treacherous. It is a violation of friendship, trust and shared moments.

How difficult to really know one's heart! Was it really full of vice from the beginning of the 'friendship'? Only God will uphold in this type of trying situation. He will sustain as one trusts in Him alone.
