Part of the subject of Psalm 3 is conflict, conflict in which the believer is a participant.
In spiritual conflict the believer may discern the enemy while others think that nothing is wrong!
The believer can see the forces of evil at work;- in society, amongst people, influencing each new generation, promoting godlessness and denying divine power and authority.
But the believer is engaged in this conflict with divine enabling and protection through ongoing prayer.
Even as we sleep and our prayer life is suspended, the Lord keeps us till we wake.
(The footprints of the Lord reveal how He carried us.)
Every time we awaken our faith is in the Lord and we need not fear 10,000 fallen angels.
Our ongoing relationship with the living God ensures our position in His victorious army.
Historically Psalm three speaks of King David fleeing from his son Absalom.
Today's believer has recourse to the Holy Spirit in our conflicts.
