Lessons from a Cave—Being Proactive

My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts—the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah Psalm 57:4-6

These verses describe two amazing realities for David. First, the ability to lie down in the midst of danger. The soul that takes refuge under the shadow of God’s wings (v1) is the soul that can lie down midst fiery beasts! Second, the ability to praise God in the midst of danger.  David does not lose sight of the glory of God over all the earth.  Although life’s circumstances change, the reality of God’s glory does not change and never will. May God grant all of us both realities as we like David continually focus on the greatness and glory of Almighty God.
