I struggle everyday to do the Lord's will. It’s as if the more I pray to do what is God's will, the more I fail. But verse 18 gives me the courage to press on in spite of everything. Praise to God.
This Psalm defines what I am going through, my challenges that's WHY I LOVE IT. Especially verse 18: LET THE LYING LIPS BE PUT TO SILENCE how else can you define the gossipers who tell lies on you and you feel as though you are on your own.
the most difficult thing for me to do right now is to transition from living under "law" and believing under GRACE.EVEN THOUGH I AM AN OLD DOG,I am WILLING TO LEARN NEW TRICKS.BEING IN AND OUT OF law abiding facilities most of my life trained me that way.JESUS LOVES ME IN MY TRANSITION....
Gods word has always brought me peace when I need help It has brought conviction when I;m wrong. I can read his word a hundred times and still find something more I can do to better my life. I know I'm saved by grace, but sometimes the battle to live right seems so impossible. But I know our God is a great deliver. I don't understand all his ways, but I know and believe he is perfect. I just wish he would help me despite myself. As Paul said "O wretched man that I am" but he knew who would deliver him.
This great Psalm of David gives great comfort to all of us facing death.
We know that our times are in God's hands, and no matter what people do to us to hurt us, there the everlasting hands of God the father is there to hold us. Then when our hour of death comes, just as the Lord Jesus said on the cross into thy hands I commit my spirit. We can rest secure for eternity in the hands of God the father, knowing full well that he has a house for us not made with human hands in heaven. Praise God we don't have to worry about death, as it is but a shadow, and the LORD is there to comfort us every step of the way. As my earthly father passed on into the hands of the Father I took comfort in these words of Jesus on the cross. My earthly father committed my mother to me just before he passed, and this reminded me of Jesus when he told his mother Mary to behold her son, speaking of John. What a blessing it is to be used of God in the various times of our lives to bring comfort to others, just as God gives us comfort in our times of sorrow. Praise God when Jesus calls for us to come up hither, all those in the grave will be raised to life eternal, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This is my favorite chapter in the Bible. I know its suppose to be about David and regarding his enemies, but I always read this when I am down. Whenever I feel depressed this chapter ALWAYS lifts me up. Just knowing God will never forsake me or leave.
Verse 19 is one of the inexhaustable truths of knowing Almighty God. He is indeed to be praised for his goodness and mercy. It is the source of my hope.
