Psalm 56

This I know: God is for me.

What a powerful affirmation!

In this day of affirmations, centered on human traits, strengths, characteristics: “I am brave; I am beautiful; I am bold; I am successful; . . . whatever.”

I will defer to David’s affirmation:

God is for me. . .

When I am tempted . . . God is for me.

When I am sick . . . God is for me.

When I am defeated . . . God is for me.

When I am mocked . . . God is for me.

When I am afraid . . . God is for me.

When I am lonely . . . God is for me.

When I am uncertain . . . God is for me.

When I am _________ . . . God is for me!

In God I trust. Not anyone else. Not self; not stuff; not power;

God!

This I know: God is for me.

Through Jesus Christ my Lord.
