My True Place of Refuge - Psalm 5

S - Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them,
that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
12 For you bless the godly, O LORD;
you surround them with your shield of love.
O - Those who seek God's protection will be able to rejoice and sing praises forever as God will protect them and give them joy. God will bless the godly people and will protect them.
A - David is talking about those that love God and seek his protection. These are the people that will be protected and blessed. I need to deligently and authentically be one of these people that loves Him always and looks to Him for protection. I can't be the man that protects, serves, and loves his family without God there to help me as there is too much to handle. However, God has promised to protect me and give me refuge. In taking this protection and refuge, I will have the strength to keep on and to provide and protect my family as my basic needs are met and I can take my eyes off myself and serve my family.
P - God, I thank you today for being this place of refuge and for protecting me. I praise you and worship you for all that you have done and continue to do for me. Help me to be the man, husband, and father that you have called me to be and to show this same place of refuge and protection to my young children so that they can see you through me. Bless my family and me today and give your healing power over Sam.
