Psalm 1, 2 & 3

Psalm 1, 2, & 3 - Day 51 (link to reading plan)

Scripture: Psalm 3:1-4

Observation: David cries out to the Lord as he flees Jerusalem because of a coup led by his son Absalom.

Application: Even though King David was not in the running for father of the year, I'm pretty sure he never imagined that his son would lead a coup to steal the kingdom from him.  Having been in the same situation before, when fleeing from King Saul, David turns to God for help, hope and comfort.  

Prayer: Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  Lord have mercy.
