March 3

Introduction

Today’s reading is a psalm attributed to King David of Israel. It is believed to have been written while David was running from his son Absalom. Absalom led a rebellion against David but was killed in battle by David’s troops (2 Samuel 15:1—18:18). Even though the psalm writer feels threatened by enemies, he is able to sleep, knowing that God will protect him.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 3:4

I call to the LORD for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 3

Reflect

In verse 2, what do the psalm writer’s enemies say about God? What verses express the psalm writer’s trust in God? In what ways do you express your trust in God?

Pray

Lord God, you hear me whenever I call out to you for help. You are God in whom I trust, and I rest safely in your protecting love. Amen.
