Psalms 3:2 KJV
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
It is believed that this Psalm was written by King David as he fled Jerusalem after his son Absalom's rebellion. Absalom had sat at the step of the king's court and courted people to rebel against David and follow him. It looked like Absalom's plot has succeeded and almost the whole nation would turn from the king. I can just hear Absalom and his cronies saying under their breath, "God hasn't helped him yet and it is too late for God to help him now."
But David's response was simple
Psalms 3:3 KJV
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Regardless of the difficulty and regardless of the words of his enemies - maybe even regardless of the doubts in his loyal followers, David kept his faith in the Lord.
And we know that the Lord vindicated King David.
There are times when every outward appearance indicates that our enemies have overwhelmed us that God could not possibly help us now. David's example tells us exactly what to do;
Trust God
Keep our eyes upon Him
