Psalm 53 & 54

Psalm 53 tells us that God is always there, even if we think that He's not. It may seem that people are "getting away" with not believing in and relying upon God, but they will not. We must pray to God and act in His ways to let Him know we honor and love Him.

In Psalm 54, the psalmist is asking God to help him in his time of need. He has been persecuted by a non-believing enemy, and he is turning to God rather than handling the situation on his own. He trusts that God will protect him and offer vengeance to his enemy. In tough times, we, too, must turn to God. This seems to be a recurring theme among many of the passages. Perhaps with so many occurrences, it would be worth it to try-handing our troubles and battles over to God.
