In Psalms 7 we see David relenting his feelings towards Saul and how he has pursued David. David was frustrated with it and probably really tired. He might have even said, "Why me, I am annointed." In the first verse David shows who he puts his trust into and that of course it is God. In verses 3 through 5 we see that David asks God to check his heart to make sure that he is not in the wrong by anything that is going on between he and Saul. He says, "O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, If I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue m y soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground."
I am reminded of if someone is my enemy and has done me wrong how do I react. I know I usually act in a sinful way but through this passage I look at David and see how he cared so much for making the Lord be glorified that even when he was not at fault he wanted to make sure he was not. God check my heart. I know I need to do this more often than not because I know I usually say how I am the victim. A good way to look at this is when I drive. I usually am the one calling out everyone elses faults and not mine, I am the victim when I get cut off, I am the victim when there is traffice. I never really say, "Am I at fault for this." It is a different way to look at it but obviously David was not at fault with Saul, but he wanted to make sure that he was not.
How often to you ask God to reveal when you are at fault? It is not the easiest thing to ask because I hate knowing when I am wrong, but that is the only way we can grow past our faults and grow from them. I pray that we can grow past our faults and realize when we are wrong. I pray that we confess our sins to the Lord.
God Bless,
