Num 16:41-18:32; Mark 16:1-20; PS 55:1-23; PR 11:7
Psalm 55 - really interesting Psalm. Basically a cry out to God by David over the betrayal of a close friend. Recently heard a really good message that related this psalm and showed why this betrayal was probably Jonathon. David's most trusted friend. Further proof that you really can find comfort for every situation in the bible. Here David is in turmoil because he was stabbed in the back by someone so close to him. It says that if it would have been an enemy that had done all these things, he could take it but being from a friend is unbearable. This is why we need to remember that we need friends that stick with us through thick and thin but ultimatly God is our rock that will never fail or forsake us. When everyone else betrays us, God is still there. I know that sounds depressing but really it's not. Because without God, I would never have survived the betrayals in my own life but with Him I was able to rise up and above the worst of despair.
