Daily Bible Reading – February 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of LoveExemple

February 29 Introduction This psalm is an individual prayer for God’s protection from enemies. It is attributed to David at a time when he was hiding in a cave while running away from King Saul (see 1 Samuel 24). The psalm includes two refrains (verses 5, 11) that attest to the greatness and glory of God. Verses 7-11 in this psalm may sound familiar to you because they also appear in Psalm 108 (the reading from February 14). Today’s Scripture: Psalm 57:3b God will show me his constant love and faithfulness. Today’s Reading Psalm 57 Reflect How would you describe the tone at the opening of this psalm? In verse 4, enemies are described as lions. In the psalms, enemies are often compared to lions or wild animals (see 7:2; 17:12; 22:12-13; 35:17; 58:3-6). What does this tell you about the kind of danger the psalm writer was facing? How is confidence in God expressed? Pray I thank you, Lord God, for your constant love and faithfulness. Great are you, God Most High, and your glory is over all the earth. Amen. Prayer Concern Those whose jobs put them in places of potential danger Congratulations on completing this reading plan!
