Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Psalms 59
Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Psalms 59
“Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men. See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O LORD. I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.” Psalms 59:2-4
Prior to being made King, David found himself being pursued by the previous King Saul. Though he had done nothing wrong, King Saul repeatedly sought to have David killed. David was forced to hide in caves and live the life of a criminal because he was on the run. Much of the Psalms, including today’s verse were written by David during this period of his life. David never quit petitioning God for justice. As there was no higher earthly power than Saul, David made his appeal to Heaven.
A bit of time would go by and Saul would apologize for trying to kill David. The two would be reunited for a while then King Saul would flip again and David would be back on the run. This dysfunctional cycle continued for years, but David never quit asking God to defend him and keep him safe. Even though the valley was dark David never lost his faith in God to eventually deliver him. In verse 16 David wrote “ But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.“
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed week and happy prepping!
