Growing in the Psalms

Psalm 3

This psalm must be very special. HAHA. Cos, ps roland shared about it during rehearsal tonight and i decided to pop by vanessa's blog and read about it. haha.. Hope it has spoken to u, and u girls are doing fine in psalming.. Drop a tag to let me know how u are doing ok? =)

This is a psalm written by david, when he was fleeing from his son, absalom. It's really about trusting God for protection and peace. It talked about people rosing against david, but he didnt depend on his army to defend and protect him. Instead he went to God and asked for God's protection and deliverance. From there, he found peace, even to sleep peacefully at night, when the 10 000 were chasing after his life. He knew God has His timing to deliver him...

Similarly for us, we can overcome our fears during dark hours by asking God and trusting that He will protect and deliver us. God is always for us, and He always listen when we pray. And in vanessa's blog, she talked about vs 7-8, where God promised to give us His inheritance if we asked, because we are His children. It's first having a relationship with God, a Father and His daughter. The Father always listen to His daughter when she calls.

And pastor khong asked us to read psalms, probably because the psalmists were very honest and open about their feelings. They praised God, sang His praises, they also lamented, told God their griefs and pains, sometimes expressing their doubts and fears. But it's through these honest sharing that they grew to have a deep and true relationship with God.

Are you feeling happy, joyful or cheerful today? Go to God and share your joy with Him! Are you feeling depressed, hopeless or despair? Just tell Him everything, He is you listening ear! Talk to God today, and you will be surprised that He is really here, listening to you now. =)

"God, i'm feeling __________ today. I know You are now beside me, listening to my every thoughts even if i dont say it out. You know my thoughts, guide me, so that i can converse with You. Teach me how to be honest with You. Protect me against the attacks of the evil one and deliver me from all my fears, negative thoughts, struggles and problems. Thank you God. In Jesus' name, Amen."
