"You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Psalm 56:8-11).
As I face a difficult trial (please pray for me) what great encouragement I receive when I'm reminded that I'm able to say as the Psalmist did, "This I know, that God is for me." The God that created the universe, the God who knows every hair on my head, that keeps count of all my tossing and turning, that saves every tear that I shed in a bottle, He is with me and for me. The Apostle Paul put it this way, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31). So no matter what I'm facing I know that God is going to see me through. He's done so countless times before and he will do it again. I don't know what the future may hold, But this one thing I know for sure, "God is for me." (Psalm 56:9) Can I get a witness?
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
