Psalm 54: Set God Before You

Psalm 54. The other messianic psalms point to the Messiah, but these show what Jesus went through. It's not that we should be associating with David's suffering, but rather see what Jesus endured to save us and that Jesus understands what we are going through. In David's psalms you will see many requests for God to hear his prayer, the theme for justice, and that some group of people who are undeliverable. Israel should have set God before them as Prince Jonathan did. Jonathan served his king father and even died in battle with him, but also followed God's choice for next king and said he would have served David as his right hand man. Jonathan served one king while defending the other king. Let God be the one to pour out his wrath and sort out the wrongs against you. Pull out the roots of bitterness and let God settle it. We can trust God with our past, present, and future deliverance.
