David, who wrote this Psalm, had experienced God’s love and faithfulness throughout his life, and while there were many times David found himself surrounded by struggles, it was the conviction that God was with him and for him that sustained him, recognising that God would not be deflected from working out his personal plan for his life.

In this coming week rest in the assurance that God’s empowering presence is with you, and know that He won’t be deflected from working out His personal plans for your life.
