Psalm 3:1,2

Watch the Context:
The psalmist was expressing his feeling of sadness and distress over the enemy of him.

Taking the introduction of the text, this story is about david and his son Absalom (immediate enemy/family)

Observe the word:
How many - plural

Reflect the message:
Even David (man of God own heart) does have an enemy. Even worse its his own son. We cannot avoid people from going against us. Too many times we want to be a people pleaser. We tries to please everybody and avoiding creating enemy at all cost. However, the truth of the matter is, we will neber be able to please evybody. In the story of David, it was his own ambitious son who went against him. David clearly called him as enemy. The word "tsar" in Hebrew exprss the meaning of enemy in David's context. Ironically too, the meaning of Absalom's name is "father of peace" yet he went to war against his own father. Enemies will do exist in our life experience no matter what. The lesson from Davisd that we should take, is how we deal with it and yet not losing our sight with God like what David did.

Develop a new way of life in Grace:
I cannot be a people pleaser for it is not Biblical. On the same time, dont Look for enemies. But conflict is natural part of sinful human life. As long as we cling on God that is the only thing that matter.
