It seems that we human beings are extremely moved be this feeling we like to call inspiration. Inspiration seems to be the main reason we do everything.
A friend of mine has been writing about inspiration, and what it means to him... Everyone has an inspiration source, He has found his. And each of us strive to find that specific thing which inspire us. Living without it would be as having a carrot cake without its frosting... Like a bird without a song, like mother without her children, like a lover without her loved One.
Inspiration is not the center of the universe- or at least not mine- but it sweetly flavors it when life seems monotonous.

Here's a little article I found that relates to that conspicuous word, inspiration.
INSPIRATION FROM THE PSALMS
BY DARLENE ZSCHECH
No. 61: PSALM 35:1-10 (NIV Version)A Psalm of David
1. Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.
2. Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
3. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am Your salvation.
4. May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame, may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
5. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away;
6. May their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7. Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
8. may ruin overtake them by surprise – may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in His salvation.
10. My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like You O Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."
This is the first of three sections when it comes to Psalm 35. The first section being a complaint, the second a prayer, and the third, a promise of praise… and as is the true character of David, each section ends with a grateful song. You could never pray to God with such boldness unless you had a clear conscience, and David here definitely felt he was in the clear before God and was filled with a righteous anger that said 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!'
Just before I started writing this study, we were at CONNECT GROUP, with people we dearly love, and talking about how we handle opposition, how we handle offence, and what we practically do to overcome these challenges in life. Well we all said things that made sense, and that scripturally were correct and practical… hanging onto the Word of God, developing your life of Faith, understanding spiritual opposition and dealing with it etc, but none of us said.. 'Ask God to disgrace those who persecute us, may they fall into a pit and die!!!' It really got me thinking about the way we are often so passive about the onslaught of the enemy, rather than getting passionate about using the authority we have been given to fight in the spiritual realm.
