Scripture Union Daily Guide 3rd March 2026 Outline
How do you react when you are hurt and betrayed by someone you trusted and loved? David is badly hurt and calls on God to vindicate him and punish those who are causing him pain (Psalms 109:1-2). In return for his love, friendship, and loyalty he was hated, falsely accused and betrayed (Psalms 109:2-5). This happened on many occasions. David had served King Saul faithfully, but King Saul falsely accused him of rebellion and sought to destroy him (1 Samuel 18:8-9; 1 Samuel 22:6-13; 1 Samuel 24:1). Even his son (Absalom) betrayed and conspired against him (2 Samuel 15:7-14).
Read Psalms 109:6-20, again and note David’s requests to God. Like David, Jesus our Lord also suffered hatred, false accusations and betrayal (Matthew 6:59-61). What was Jesus’ request to the Father (Luke 23:34)? Like David and Jesus our Lord, we may suffer hatred, false accusations and betrayal from people we least expect. On such occasions, we can freely tell God how we feel. But we must follow the example of our Lord, Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-23), obey his command (Matthew 5:43-45) turn to the Lord in prayer, leave our case with Him, and trust Him to vindicate us (Romans 12:17-19).
