Got Cush?

Read Psalm 7

While on vacation we visited Coastal Christian church in Ocean City, NJ.  A great way to spend time on vacation is not vacationing from God but with God.

So the pastor preaches this message he titled Got Cush?  It's based on David's reaction to Cush a Benjamite who was assaulting David's character and reputation.  David talks with God about this bad relationship and it's a great first step.  Take that Cush relationship in your life to God; trust God can walk you through it.  But the interesting thing to consider is how David never said anything like this (that we know of) about the attacks that he experienced in his battle with Goliath. 

Isn't that true?  How we can take the physical battles but the verbal abuses really are the gut-wrenching, sleep-depriving, and anxiety-driven battles that eat our lunch?!

Read Psalm 7 and notice how David begins and ends this Psalm.  He starts by saying the LORD his God is the One he takes refuge in and who saves and delivers him.  He ends with giving thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness.  So David will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.  Friends, never forget this is why we are here to give praise, honor and glory to God.  To Him be the glory, honor and praise in our lives as we live in relationship with Him and one another.
