Psalm 3: When the Odds Are Against You

Psalm 3 is short but sweet.  David, on the run for his life after a coup staged by his son Absalom, is calling out to God for deliverance.  David senses that he is outnumbered - "many" are against him, "many" are writing him off as hopeless.  Even "ten thousands" have set themselves against him. 

Yet David maintains his faith in the Lord.  He calls upon God for deliverance, and he even sleeps secure, knowing that he is in God's hands (3:5).  When the odds are against you, may you experience David's peaceful assurance that God has neither forgotten nor forsaken you!
