In Psalms, chapter fifty-five, verse six, when being oppressed by evil people or spiritual enemies or when the troubles of the world bring fear, anguish, and overwhelming anxiety, as in verses two through five, we too often wish to find rest and relief by escaping from our present distress, as in Jeremiah nine, verse two. However, in most cases, escape from such situations is not possible. The real solution is found only in seeking refuge in God. We can do as the psalmist did: call upon God evening, morning, and noon, as in verses sixteen through eighteen, and cast our burdens upon the Lord by looking to Him to sustain us.
In the theme verse under The Lord will Sustain section, the psalmist senses trouble looming in the first five verses. They are calling on God to hear them mourning in complaint against the evil oppressors, as sudden fear for their lives is troubling them. Believers must understand that our lives in Christ will not be similar to those of the ungodly. During His years of service, Jesus Christ dealt with the ungodly people who did not believe. The scribes, the chief priests, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees all came to what the Son of God was doing and tried to be a disturbance.
For example, in Matthew nine, verses one through six, a man entered the ship sick of palsy, and the scribes did not come to support but to spectate. However, the scribe’s attitude from verses three to four, “And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?”
There will be ungodly people who will come against the godly because of who is inside of us: Jesus Christ. In First John three, verse thirteen, “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.”
