Using the Psalms in Everyday Life: Psalm 52

Using the Psalms in everyday life:  Psalm 52

David was being conspired against by Saul and Saul was saying that David was conspiring against him.  Read 1 Samuel.  In chapter 22 Doeg goes along with Saul, and behind Doeg stands the one who goes along with us in our lies, Satan, the Devil.  In the end of chapter 22 it appears that Doeg and Satan have won a great victory in all of the bloodshed.

Is your life similar to this?  Does it appear that Satan is winning a victory in your life or in your family's life?  Let us look to how David responded in Psalm 52, which he wrote regarding this incident.

"Why do you boast of evil, o mighty man, the faithfulness of God is all day."

All Day is a basketball term.
When someone makes a three pointer and they say, "all day"  that means that they will make that shot all day.
When David sang this, he saw the evil that was done, and the lies that the evil was based on.  And he also saw the truth spoken by Ahimelech, and how Ahimelech was killed for it.

David responds, "all day."

You can kill all the priests, God will raise up prophets who will speak his truth

"all day"

kill all the prophets and God will send his Son who is the truth

"all day"

kill the Son and He will be raised up and will in turn raise others up who will speak the truth

"all day"

kill them and God will along with Jesus raise them from the dead and they will speak the truth of God

"all day"

and into all eternity.

Use Psalm 52 to show Satan how fruitless his kingdom is
and how eternal God's kingdom is
