Psalm 57
Inspired thots
Regardless of the circumstances, one should be praising God all the time. That attitude would keep the soul at peace and the heart steadfast with no frets as the focus is on God and not self. God will vindicate and deliver the righteous for His name's sake.
How important to sing praises to God all the time; making melody as one recounts His faithfulness and provision in all things. Hallelujah! Truly God is exalted above the heavens.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

In GOD Alone
Psalm 56
Inspired thots
Enemies may be around us but with God at our side, there is NOTHING to fear.
It is IN GOD I praise His WORD; for His word is truth and reassuring.
It is IN GOD I TRUST without a fear; for He is in Total control of every situation and my life.
It is only In God all things are possible; all blessings flow from Him to me.
What can flesh do to me? What can man do to me? I trust in God alone.

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.

Enjoying the Final Victory
Psalm 54
Inspired thots
The psalmist never fails to praise God regardless of his situation. He may start off the psalm with a desperate cry for help but always ends up with praises for God and thus, triumphs! Because his God triumphs!
What a reminder that God is on our side and would vindicate us as we continually look to Him alone; just give God the FREEWILL OFFERING of thanksgiving and continue to trust in His faithfulness. He always deliver.

The Wise Seeks God
Psalm 53
Inspired thots
The ways of God differs greatly from those of men. God calls those who do not seek Him 'fools' for they are in a depraved state of mind not to know the end.God looks from heaven above and sees all things.But God WILL deliver His people, especially Israel whom He loves.
The wise would stay on God's paths and wait for Him to work in their lives and on earth in His own time.

The FINALE ~ Render PRAISE
Psalm 52
Inspired thots
Though the psalmist rebukes the wicked, his final focus is on God which is the right course of action. How important to keep focused on God rather than be distracted by the world or the wicked; for they shall all fade away. Only God remains. Hence, focus to worship Him. Remember His goodness and blessings; Give THANKS! Give PRAISE!
How wonderful if God sees His people like a GREEN OLIVE Tree in His house! Hence, how necessary to PROCLAIM His name forever; for He is good.
Hallelujah!

Acceptable Sacrifice to God
Psalm 51
Inspired thots
There is ALWAYS sin in man before God; hence, a HUMBLE heart in acknowledging and confessing sins before God restores our standing with Him. We KNOW the sins we have committed; and even if we do not know, God can reveal if we are humble enough to hear.
Only God can cleanse us of sins to be purer than snow; when restored, the cleansed servant should go about the Lord's work rather than be idle. Singing aloud praises to God after deliverance is note worthy.
Hence, this is the kind of sacrifice which is acceptable to God; humility through a broken and contrite heart; a broken spirit. God does not despise.
