Psalms 31:7
“I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:
for thou hast known my soul in adversities.”
God had been
showing me all that I had been compromising, and how many of those times I had
fallen because of it. If your self-will, your rejection of God’s principles of
life, your compromises, have driven you into a desperate difficulty, remember
that God loves you. Something I sometimes find myself having had forgotten
about- how much He really does love us. After reading a book on David’s life, I
learned much more about the challenges faced by David, it is from “David’s
inner life and his experiences with God that we can draw strength and comfort
and nourishment for our souls.” We are not sufficient unless we are engaging in
the material in the Word of God to help us. Reading about all the struggles and
defeats David went through, but how God did bring glory and sunshine for him
was one of the most uplifting parts about reading this book. There is at some
points a significant change in David’s moods and I know for me that can happen
as well. In this verse it shows him undergoing challenges but then how David
brings back his faith in the Lord, “I will be glad and
rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast known my soul in adversities.” Then he
says in verse 12, “I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.” He is showing through his challenges and defeats and emotions, faith
triumphs it all. David knew it was impossible to be in God’s hand and in the
enemy’s hand at the same time. And just like all of us when we start believing
that the God that created the whole universe and us with great thought, will
still fight for us. The gloom begins to disappear, and fear departs as faith
emerges in glorious triumphs.
