PSALM 69 ~ 9 MARCH 2008


By David

Believe in God who keeps His promises with you.

“The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.” Ps 69:33

David pleaded for God to have mercy and asked God to save him. He was in affliction – troubles or hardship.

He begs God to relieve him from it. We can read about his plight and his desperation for help and relief from verses 1-21.

The judgement of God was being prophesized on those who rejected God. They will not receive his salvation. (V22-29)

David, the Psalmist concludes with joy and praise, in the assurance of God’s help and deliverance from verse 30-33. He knows that his prayers to God will be heard and he has the assurance that God will come to his rescue.

Verse 34-36 is a call to praise God, He will restore Judah and the assure the people of their inheritance in the promised land.

Application:

Are you able to praise God out of the assurance that God will come to you when facing hardship? Often, our confident in God is in what we see. It is not out of faith that we trust in Him. David is able to praise God while going through tough times because he knows that God will save him and grant to him salvation. His hope is in God. You too, can praise God because of who He is not because of what you have seen. DO IT NOW! By committing all your concerns and difficulties to God . Choose to praise Him because you can trust in Him and in His power.
