Imminent physical danger is something that we want to avoid if at all possible. We certainly are blessed to live in a country that is, for the most part, free of the kind of danger that David is speaking of in this passage. We don’t have enemies lurking in the darkness ready to jump out and kill us. That being said, we do have an enemy that seeks to destroy us; spiritually speaking.
What is our best defense? – a good offense. We see this beginning in verse 1 when David says, “I trust in the Lord for protection“. A very short sentence that carries a lot of power. Like David, we also have this ability to speak power and protection over our lives.
When things seem overwhelming or out of control, we need to step back and look up. Our father in heaven is ready and waiting for us to seek him.
