In this chapter, we find a summary of the goodness of God manifested in the life of David. A) He could delight in support of the Almighty and His help.
1 To the choirmaster. Psalm of David. Lord! The king rejoices (Your strength) of your powerful protection. Oh! Like your help filling it with joy! (How great is his joy at the work of your salvation!)
Takes Is there awareness in every day privilege to have been chosen by God for Him to make us vessels of his compassion instead of the polls of his anger?
We deserved to suffer eternal sentence without possibility of appeal. Legally speaking, we remain guilty on all counts of charges collected against us. We were not better than others.
Realize that the only feature that differentiates a vase vase mercy of trial remains the Grace of God that covers! Thank you Lord for your goodness to us!
And that goodness is manifested also in the protection that God gives us day after day.
protection against our spiritual enemies, against the raging elements, against bad men.
Remember God has everything in control. There is not a situation that eludes him.
What may happen to us may surprise us, but not the Lord of hosts. If
for our spiritual growth or to experience our heart, God allows difficult circumstances in our lives even up removal of our property, be patient in the trial.
What awaits us in eternity is beyond what can be lost in this world.
B) He received from God what his heart desired.
2 Thou hast given him what his heart desired, and hast not denied that sought her lips.
Since David had an intimate relationship with his Redeemer, desires, expectations were consistent with the Divine Will.
C) He received from the Great I am, a diadem of gold and a life filled with favors.
3 For thou hast prevented by the blessings of your grace (You came to him in charge of your blessings) You put on her head a crown of pure gold.
For us too, God showed up in our lives, his arms full of blessings!
Peace of mind.
assurance of our salvation.
A place with Him in His presence for eternity.
the forgiveness of our sins.
A new nature.
A new heart desiring to please Him.
His Spirit within us, communicating His direction.
The joy of our salvation, which fills our cœurs.Etc.
Let us remember that we receive, we too, a wreath during our gathering with Him in the new Jerusalem!
2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth the crown of righteousness reserved for me, the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing .
Jacques 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
1 Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
Apocalypse 2:10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I'll give you the crown of life.
Apocalypse 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
4 He asked you the life you've given it to him a long life for ever and ever. (You will prolong his days until eternity.)
5 His glory is great because of your help; (Thanks to the grant you gave) You put him on the brilliance and magnificence. (Thou hast covered with glory and honor)
6 You never surrender to the object of blessing, (You give him the source of eternal blessings) You fill with joy before thy face. (By your presence)
Like David can we make a list of all the kindness received from our God?
God Let us make us a source of blessing to those around us?
As the LORD made David, a model for his community, our Creator wishes to make us vessels of honor.
Why?
order that those among our community aspire to a life filled with joy and peace, may find, by our example, an encouragement, an invitation to approach Jesus.
They will in turn benefit from the blessings attached to the Hi and the Sovereignty of Jesus Christ.
In this second part of this Psalm, we discover another principle applicable even today: Confide in
Yahweh.
7 The king trusts in the LORD, and the goodness of the Most High, (and thanks to the love of the Most High, he will not be shaken) there shall not be moved.
8 Your hand will find all your enemies, Your right hand will find those who hate you.
9 You will make such a fiery furnace, the day that you show, the Lord will destroy them in his anger and fire shall devour them. 10 Thou shalt
away their posterity of the earth, and the mid-race son of man. 11
They planned evil against you, they were ill-conceived designs, but they will be powerless. (But they will not succeed.)
12 For thou shalt turn their backs, and with thy bow shalt thou on them.
This principle is universal. It transcends time.
By trusting in the Lord, we become steadfast in our belief that the goodness of the Lord are renewed every day, regardless of the moments of crisis we need experience.
Our spiritual enemies will be dispersed, dissolved by the fire of Divine Judgement.
All their evil plans to destroy us will be destroyed in front of the determination of the Lord to protect us.
Facing the defeat of our opponents, we have only one desire: Shouting the phrase with all our heart:
Arise, O Lord, with your strength! We want to sing, celebrate your strength.
(O Lord, Thy power unfolds! In our songs and hymns, we celebrate your courage.)
Prayer:
" Today, my God of love, I want to celebrate you, sing Thou art my King and the love of my life! It is true that your kindness are new every morning and your grace is always there when I I need it. Thank you for this beautiful gift called life you gave me! "
Have a good week!
