I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 52-59.

    In today’s psalms the psalmist calls on God to protect him and save him from those who have attacked and betrayed him. Those who put their trust in wealth or power, or both, will discover that those things will fail them in their time of need. However, if we trust in God we will thrive, even when we are betrayed by our closest friends. We will encounter those who tell us that we are fools to believe in God, let alone trust in Him. They are the fools. We may feel overwhelmed by those attacking us, but, if we trust in God, we need not fear them. No mortal can be a threat to us when God is defending us. We may be surrounded by enemies, all of whom are more powerful than us, but God will save us from them. Some of those enemies may be corrupt, wicked rulers, but God will avenge their injustices. Our enemies will prowl at night, but the following morning we will still be here to sing about God’s unfailing love. I will put my trust in God, I will not fear those who threaten and attack me because God is more powerful than any possible enemy.
