Psalm 28: My Strength and My Shepherd

Some associations with worldly people may lead to disputes and conflicts, which are actually conflicts with the unseen enemy. Sin and Self disrupt relationships and agreements between people of the world: this worldliness is in both believers and unbelievers.

Worldliness, inspired by the Enemy, does not regard God and His work of building solid relationships of love between people; thus He will destroy the works of their hands and build a better foundation (Christ) for stronger and more loving relations.

The believer cries to the Lord in His Holy Place (His Presence among us); He fixes things by tearing down the enemy’s work and rebuilding His own. Our Lord Jesus Christ becomes our Strength in the place of our weakness and worldliness and selfishness. He becomes our Shield to protect the one who prays from the destruction of worldly (God-ignoring) relations. He becomes our Shepherd as He takes tender care of us and carries us forever. God is a blesser.
