Head: Know God's Word | Heart: Love God | Hands: Follow God's Way

Read Psalms 59-60

Head

David, the young shepherd who became king of Israel, faced many difficult challenges in his life. In Psalm 59 and 60, we see how he trusted God to help him when times were tough, and he knew that God would protect him. These Psalms remind us that God is our protector when we're in danger and our helper when we face hard situations. David didn’t try to handle everything on his own. Instead, he relied on God's power and faithfulness to keep him safe. When we go through tough times, do we remember that God is always with us and ready to help? Just like David trusted God during his struggles, we can trust God with our own challenges. Whether it's something difficult at school, with friends, or at home, God is with us. He understands what we're going through and is always ready to help us. 

Heart

David is often called a man after God’s own heart, and these Psalms reveal his humility, faith, and deep love for God. Rather than seeking to defeat his enemies on his own, David trusted and relied on God by calling out to Him in times of fear and distress. This shows us that it’s okay to feel afraid or overwhelmed, but the key is to turn to God for help. David begins by telling who God is and how he had experienced Him in his life, with declarations like “God, my strength and fortress,” “Lord, my shield,” and “my refuge in times of trouble.” David’s example teaches us what to do when we face struggles—call out to God, boldly proclaim His character and attributes, and remember all the times He has delivered us in the past. 

Hand

David not only calls on God for help in the present but also thanks Him for His past faithfulness. Just like David, we can actively trust God and honor Him through our actions. When we feel worried or afraid, we can pray and ask God for help, but we should also take time to praise Him for what He has already done in our lives! One way to do this is by thanking God each day for the good things He has given us and trusting Him in every situation. How can you show your trust in God today? 

Prayer:  Dear God, thank You for being our protector and helper. We know that we can turn to You in every situation, no matter how big or small. Help us to trust You when we’re scared or worried and to praise You for all the good things You’ve already done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
