Clinging to God's Truth

Today we glory in Psalm 63:6-11.

Sometimes we have trouble falling asleep at night because we remember the troubles of the day, or are haunted by the thoughts of the past, or, and especially, we feel threatened by what tomorrow might bring. King David, that mighty warrior of old who possessed a fair amount of wealth, but especially possessed high position and reputation, had his own similar troubles. He was confronted with many enemies - kings of foreign nations, as well as those hungry for power in his own nation. David, like many of us, had plenty to keep him awake at night with a troubled soul. Notice how he dealt with such circumstances, he “remembered” his God and "meditated" on Him during those troubling times. David "clung" to God, that is He clung to God’s every word. David remembered God's promises, and he remembered truths about God's character, of His greatness and goodness, and he found solace in such truth. He replaced the lie of fantasy with the truth of God’s reality. Soon he found sleep and peace of soul. Christian, stop believing the lives of the world and of your own imagination by focusing on God's unshakeable truth.
