Confront This Day with the Courage of God!

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.

 Psalm 57:2

David wrote this while he was in hiding, desparate to stay alive.  What an odd thing to say when he is running to stay safe.

This day is a day where I am reminded that someone close has betrayed me and trampled my darkest secrets.  I have been called a liar and a fool.  I am not running for my life, but I don't want to move, I don't want to have to start all over. Don't want to have to begin again...what happens to all I have shared and offered?

What went on within David, who was annointed king, as he remembered Samuel pouring the oil over his head and blessing him as God's chosen king?  What is going on in my heart as I have obeyed and followed and done what was asked on my part?  God brought a mad man to hunt and chase and kill.  God brought a man who has turned the tables and done great harm to my heart and my family.

"I cry out..."  There is no where else to go.

"to God Most High" For we must never forget who You are and as Job said, "Still I will praise You."  What is in my heart that I can still praise you?  Still offer the pain and tears as offering of worship?

"who fulfills his purpose for me"  And I believe that no one and nothing will get in the way of what You are doing in my life.  You are still good and You are still a God at work in and through and around me.  Bring good out of what is not good.  That is who You are.  Let me not wish evil, but do good.  Let me believe that Your purposes will never be thwarted, for You are God.  Bring healing, for You comfort those who mourn.
