PEACE IS IN FAITH
Psalm 55: 2-18King David, seeing his confidant betray and rebel, inside of the King David was in trouble, he sighed to beg God. In this psam of prayer, we must think how King David was able to acquire peace.
1) If I had wings like a dove (2-9)
David wanted to have wings like a dove to escape, get rid of this complicated situation. But fleeing is a cowardly way. We must increase our strength to overcome the problem in God, facing it boldly.
2) May they go down alive to Sheol (10-16)
Exhausted, driven by his revenge and anger, David wanted these men go down to Sheol. Wish it could appear to be something natural, but revenge does not bring peace. Do not give your feelings to anger.
3) The Lord will save me
Amid this desire to flee and feeling anger, David let rise slowly voice of testimony that allowed him to believe in God. Knowing only faith in the salvation of God gives him peace, he came to entrust everything to God. Do you want peace? Strive to have faith.
Prayer: Lord, give us strength to overcome the problem in You. I know that revenge, anger and fleeing does not give me peace, I get peace in faith in You.
One Word: Faith gives peace
