Thou hast redeemed me.

"Into thine hand I commit my spirit:thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth" (Psalms 31:5). As King David got weaker and when the enemy looked bigger, he relied more and more on the Lord. King David understood that the only way to get closer to the Lord was to trust totally in the Lord. Through all that King David faced, he found rest in the refuge of the Lord. As all of our enemies surround us each day, the only safe haven is in the presence of the Lord. We too must believe, as King David believed, in the Lord. King David knew the battle was going to come in like a storm, and it would blow and beat upon his soul. Regardless, he ran to the secret place where the Lord would abide with him. In a desperate cry, he called out to the Lord as his enemies came closer. We as believers have enemies that we battle with.  So many times we allow them to run us over and take advantage of our souls, drawing us away by our own lusts, only to find out our flesh is so weak. King David says "Into thine hands I commit my spirit" (vs 5). He's speaking of committing his spirit into the hands of the Lord. He also says, "Thou hast redeemed me" (vs 5). He spoke in faith even before the storm from the enemy was over. We must also commit our spirits into the hands of the Lord, and then we will truly recognize Him as our Redeemer. "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord" (Psalms 31:24). Praise the Lord. God bless you.
