Trusting through Treacherous Times

In Psalm 55 David's life was in severe danger over a long period of time. We are not told about when this happened, but more than likely it was the time his very own son Bsaslom, usurped the kingdom from him. Instead of fighting, David organized his affairs, and left with a train of people and supplies.

What is so difficult about being betrayed?

David hits on the problem when he says,

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him. But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend. We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of God in the throng. (Psalms 55:12-14).
