Psalm 3:1-8

In this message, we explore the story of King David and his son Absalom from 2 Samuel 13-18. This narrative serves as the backdrop for understanding Psalm 3, which David wrote during one of the most challenging periods of his life. We learn that even when surrounded by enemies and facing betrayal from loved ones, we can find extraordinary confidence in God. The psalm provides a three-step approach to facing difficulties: speaking plainly to God about our problems, praising Him for His provision, and resting in His protection. This reminds us that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, our ultimate salvation comes from the Lord alone.
