GOD’S UNCEASING FAITHFULNESS
PSALM 138
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
The title of this Psalm is THE LORD IS A FAITHFUL GOD. When we are in trouble, like David was, one of our greatest encouragements, is that we can always trust GOD because HE is completely faithful to us.
David is walking in the valley of the shadow of death again, but he says I will fear no evil, that is amazing confidence in God. In this psalm, David is growing very weary, he is surrounded by his enemies, but he prays for revival in his life and leaves his enemies to God. Note that he doesn’t try to fight these enemies, he gives them over to God.
Romans 12 about not taking revenge on your enemies. Instead, if you are hated by someone, love them back. David has some amazing advice for us in verse 8, his confidence for the future is placed in God alone. Why? Because God is faithful.
Have your given your life into the safe and wonderful hands of God, if you have then you can completely trust his faithfulness.
He abideth FAITHFUL.. AMEN
God bless you,
