Day 9 of #quiettime | How to spice up your life in a daily basis: #dailyhabits One chapter a day for one year challenge - PSALM 5
Good Steemians!
How are you doing? Who were affected by the latest typhoon? Hope you’re doing fine. Hope to hear from you soon. Today, let us talk about FAITH. Let us begin our #quiettime with some questions:
- If you have toothache, to whom do you go for help?
- If you have body pain, to whom do you go for help?
- If you have financial challenges, to whom do you go for help?
- If you have life challenges, to whom do you go for help?
Let us open our bible to Psalm 5:11. In here we will know who we can ask for help. Moreover, one person but all areas of your life will be solved.
He is not a “Jack of all trades master of none”, rather he is the “Master of all trades.”

Pslam 5:11-12
Insights
This Psalm is written by King David. This is his one of his Psalms. This is a prayer, a song at the same time, acknowledging God’s mighty power – He is his shield.
King David was a mighty warrior of God. He leads his army with his mighty faith with God. In his time, he has numerous and unending battles for he was chosen by God to conquer the “Promise Land.” To do that, he needs to defeat all his furious and numerous enemies that were living the land.
His enemies’ troops were many compared with his troops. He has the reasons to be…
- Arrogant – he knows what to do, he doesn’t need help from God
- Coward – he is not confident with his troops, he has no faith in God
If he will choose one these, it would be valid because even though he is the mighty warrior of God, he is still a human being. But he chose none of these. He chose the right decision.
He chose…
- Humility – he doesn’t know what to do, he honestly acknowledge that he needs help from God
- Courageous – he has confident in his troops, he has BIG FAITH in God
As a result, he was victorious. He conquered the “Promise Land.” He then enjoys the fruit of his labor.
Challenges in life could either “make us” or “break us”. It could make us into the person that God planned you to be. Or it could break us and not be the person that God planned you to be.
It’s all in your choices in life. Either we have FAITH in God or half of it or nothing at all. God leaves that choice to us because He is a loving God – he gave us “Free Will”. He wants a decisive heart in choosing His path – a path of FAITH.
God looks at the heart and blesses them according to its deeds.
Questions to Ponder to ourselves
How confident am I in my decisions in life right now?
Am I that strong enough to face every challenges life has to offer?
Can I make it on my own?
If the answers are no, then it would be encouraging and humbling to hear that we need God in our lives. Even we are very successful in our careers, family, friends, wealth, these are not enough because “human nature” is not contented. We tend to find happiness in these things but it not enough. We will still feel emptiness.
The only person who can fill in to that emptiness is God himself through Jesus Christ. Get to know him more by studying the Bible.
Today as we face our challenges, let us remember…
- To be like David that despite of the many enemies, “deadly challenges”, he humbles himself before God – ask Him for help. Thus, making courageous in facing them with all his might.
No wonder David was the “Mighty Warrior” of God. We too can be like him.
- To be like David, he remembers God that He is his shield – protection.
No wonder David was name “A man after God’s own heart.”
With these in mind, let us be GLAD for this because God Leads A Disciple towards success – success in following Jesus Christ to attain true happiness in life.
Let us pray
Dear Heavenly Father, good morning God. Truly you are awesome despite in our challenges that we encountered and for those challenges that we will encounter. You are always at our side, providing all that we need in this life and to the life that is yet to come. Thank you for the blood of Jesus Christ because this was possible. Thank you for providing us protection from harm. If not for your protection, we are dead right now. Thank you for the gift of life that we enjoy and share to others in a Godly way. May we love you all the more and may we show it others as well that may your name and that they will know that there is a God that loves us all. May we ever be grateful for the blessings you showered upon us.
All these I pray, in Jesus name.
Amen
Thank you to
