Psalm 6

Psa. 6:0 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

Psa. 6:1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
         Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
Psa. 6:2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak;
         O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
Psa. 6:3 My soul also is greatly troubled;
         But You, O LORD—how long?
Psa. 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver me!
         Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
Psa. 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;
         In the grave who will give You thanks?
Psa. 6:6 I am weary with my groaning;
         All night I make my bed swim;
         I drench my couch with my tears.
Psa. 6:7 My eye wastes away because of grief;
         It grows old because of all my enemies.
Psa. 6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
         For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa. 6:9 The LORD has heard my supplication;
         The LORD will receive my prayer.
Psa. 6:10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
         Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

There comes a time in everyone’s walk with the Lord that they go through adversity.  David is going through adversity with his enemies, those workers of iniquity.  David views it as the chastening of the Lord.  The Lord does sometimes allow for circumstances that refines us.  It is in these situations that we are shaped to carry a greater anointing.  I am not talking about sickness and disease. 

David prevails in the night with the Lord and is able t make some declarations.  Let all his enemies be greatly troubled and turn back in shame.  Too many people don’t know how to prevail in prayer or like facing things head on with the Lord.  This, for the most part, is one of David’s greatest attributes.  He is able t talk to the Lord about everything and honestly communicate with Him.

If you live long enough you will go through one or two situations.  If you prevail, you will have a history with God that will anchor you through any storm.
