God's Protection (part 1)

Gods Protection Gracious and Merciful
Psalm 56 Part 1 of 7

V1&2 “Be gracious to me, God, for man tramples me; he fights and oppresses me all day long. My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56:1-2‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

The very first part of verse 1 rings very loudly. “Be gracious to me, God Some versions say “Be merciful to me, my God” It calls for God's grace and mercy because we almost never receive that from the world around us.

“For man tramples me” Ouch!
“He fights and oppresses me all day long “ Double Ouch !!

God, please be gracious to me. I need it so badly because the opposite exists in every visible direction. All-day long I am in a fight. My adversaries desire to trample me. But Your Grace is so much stronger than any attack. God, please be merciful to me. I need it in a double portion because many are fighting against me. But your mercy covers me beyond understanding.

There is no limit to His Grace and Mercy.
The created may desire to devour us. The Creator protects us.
The created may wish us harm. The Creator loves us so very much that Grace and Mercy flow from Him to us.

He knows the battle and the struggle....... Do you know Him?
