Introduction...

Day 30 Psalm 118:5-14 The Lord is on my side; What can man do to me?
（Memorization Scripture: vv. 5-6,8-9,14）
5 I called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
6 The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11 They surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me like bees;
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.





[Sharing] Psalm 118 is the poem that the Israelites sang when they went to the temple during the festivals to offer sacrifice and sing praise to God. As they were heading to the temple and remembering how Jehovah God had listened to their prayers and placed them in a spacious place after so many years of turmoil, they could not help but say, "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? For it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.“ Many times in the history of Israel, nations surrounded them like a swarm of bees to destroy them, but the people of Israel could be victorious in the name of the Lord. It is why they could sing, “The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.”

At this moment, we may also face many personal, family, work and spiritual battles in our lives. Let us learn to come before the LORD often to experience what the psalmist wrote, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” because “the Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.”
