Psalm 143:8
When we pray how do we know for sure we are asking according to God’s will? Whenever we read of the Spirit’s inspired words in the Bible we can know for sure that we are on safe ground. Such was the case with David when he asked the Lord to open his ears so that he could hear of God’s loving kindness and to know the way he should go. This study by Pastor Jack is encouraging and instructive when it comes to our prayer life and our personal relationship with God.

Psalm 138:8
Someone once said that God is rarely early, but is always on time. He is alpha and omega and as such He sees the whole picture whereas we can only see the present. Because of our limitation, our faith in trusting God for His perfect work is often tested when we don’t see favorable circumstances. In moments like that we must look to God’s Word and His promises and teach our faith to rely on His unchanging truth as David did in this psalm.

Psalm 131
In this psalm, David uses the analogy of a growing child to illustrate his own spiritual progress and growth. The weaning process in itself can be traumatic and challenging, the unwillingness to change the way things have been done, the need to change foods, eat on your own. Yet weaning is essential, no one can go on being nursed indefinitely. God’s Word often speaks of our need to grow spiritually and that our spiritual growth should somewhat parallel our physical growth. Yet how many Christians, in fully grown bodies, have never matured spiritually.

Psalm 124
At times we all go through perils where perhaps trusted friends offend us or we face seemingly insurmountable challenges. In this psalm ascribed to David, he recounts the many times his enemies tried to overwhelm him. In looking back, he saw that God was on his side and delivered him through each trial. As believers, we too can be assured that God will defend and deliver us as he did for David. When David considered that God had made heaven and earth, he was then able to have a right perspective knowing that there was no trial or battle that was too great for God to handle.
