Psalm 55…

My faith is weak, therefore I am grateful that my amazing wife (Ashleigh) shares her faith with me & within me… for years I’ve seemed to feel & find the spirit of GOD… perhaps even much longer than I have noticed…. possibly around the time my son was about one year of age… from then it seemed as though GOD has been busier with more important things than me. It’s okay for I am used to not being a priority to many in my life. I made due researching religion and what I was taught to believe as truth ever since… fast forward up to this and my my pretrial situation… It seems as if GOD has retired indefinitely… I have several reasons I have chosen those thoughts, but I digress…

It’s why I am grateful my wife shared the Verse from PSALM 55… the speaker was relentless with seeking to hear from GOD due to his wicked enemy bringing trouble his way… this developed into fear for his life & he goes on to say if he could find a way to escape it he surely would. The irony in this for me is it seems his opposition is his own fellow man – this is exactly how I feel. It’s someone he trust. He wants GOD to cast them away….the verse concludes with the statement to cast my troubles to the Lord for he will not allow too much torment to the righteous… for the deceitful will not be victorious & so we should trust in the Lord…

In conclusion, what this means to me is when trouble challenges me, relentlessly seek and trust the Lord to handle it for I am righteous the deceitful ones will not have the victory, but I should trust in the Lord to fight my battle. It’s Verses like these that ever so slightly increases my faith-Not because becaus of just the word, but the fact that for “ions” people have had challenges in life… the righteous always wins because GOD has our back in the fight.
