TGFABT – Psalm 56
By this…
“By this I will know that God is for me.”
Psalm 56:9b
How did David survive the back stabbing, word twisting, and all the plots against Him?
How can we survive the back stabbing, word twisting, and plots against us?
David says, “By this…”
- Trust in what I know. Get to know God so God is what I know. (V9)
- Believe He is for me. Let Him be for me rather than me being for myself. (V9)
- Boast in His Word. Be in His Word so I can best in it. I can’t boast in something I don’t know.(V10)
