Psalm
6
May 8, 2005
So many
times we wake up or retire for the night with much suffering
on our hearts. David experienced suffering or testing in his
life. Even when his suffering was brought on by his own sin.
Yet, God is merciful and is a God who forgives when we bring
our broken lives to him.
I am much
like David and when I sin and am broken vessel as a result
of my sin I can run to the Lord and cry to him for mercy.
“Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for
I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.”
Psalm 6:2 I can really relate to this for at times
I do shake when I have not pleased my Lord but thanks be to
God his mercy endures forever.
Then there are times when my life
is shaky with the terrors of those who would hurt me. Yes,
there is a time in our lives when what we share from our Lord
may cause others to bring harm upon us. Jeremiah in the Word
spoke from God’s heart and those who didn’t want
to hear the truth desired to see him dead. But again thanks
be to God for he hears our supplication or plea for help during
these trying times.
“The Lord hath heard my supplication;
the Lord will receive my prayer.” Psalm 6:9
We can cry out to God and he will
hear us if we are willing to trust him with everything in
us. God has promised to heal us and give us sweet rest in
him. God will rebuke the enemy that desires to bring fear
in our hearts and we can count on that victory.
When was the last time you felt
you could not rest because of oppression? God will hear thy
cry and bring peace into your life. He has asked us to trust
in him with all our hearts and lean not on our understanding
but on his.
We only praise God when our lives
are in complete fellowship. I pray you have that sweet peace
in your heart and that every night you can rest assured that
God is at work for he never sleeps or slumbers.
Lord I
ask thee to remind me daily how I can have sweet fellowship
with you. Help me to recognize those who would desire to steal
my joy and peace in you. Remind me daily that I must bring
all unconfessed sin before you and receive cleansing. Thank
you Lord for your mercy that endures forever. In Jesus Name.
AMEN
