How should we respond when someone hurts us badly or you are in a struggle that is causing great pain? Someone has said - "It is not what happens to us that matters, but how we respond to it."
I want to encourage you to read Psalm 5. David has been hurt, rejected and is on the run. We see that David is crying out to the Lord, and he is sighing! He is overwhelmed by life. Many can relate to this today!
In verse 3 - David gets strength and comfort from knowing that when he cries out to the Lord, that the Lord hears his prayers! (The Lord hears our prayers and cries as well.) Read Romans 8: 26-29
In verses 7-8 - David worships the Lord even when things make no sense in life. He was trusting in the Lord, and that is what we need to do on a daily basis as well.
In verse 11 - David teaches us that our victory comes as the Lord is our refuge, shield. As I follow the Lord He will bless me and take care of me on a daily basis!
How do I respond to the things that happen to me in life? I am going to serve the Lord and Love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength!
