Psalm 39
Read the whole Psalm. While this
is a psalm about David’s life it is also prophet of JESUS’ Life.
:1-3 David is saying that he guarded
his words so that he would not sin while the wicked were before him or while he
was in the presence of the wicked. This is a lesson for us in light of JESUS’
teaching in Matthew 5:21-22; be careful how you speak to others especially
when you are being accused, whether
correctly or falsely! When attacked, be still and seek The LORD through introspection
before you speak (Isaiah 53:7; Mark 14:61; Luke 12:11-12). Don’t take
offence so easily that you sin! (Job 2:9-10); James warns about the
power of the tongue to cause harm in 3:1-12.
:4-6 In our flesh we are weak and
frail, in the measure of Eternity out life is but a breath, a vapor. Moses asked
the same question in Psalm 90:1-6, 12. The author of Psalm 119 asks the
question in verse 84. Solomon said the same thing in Ecclesiastes 6:12. James
warns us in 4:13-17.
Selah = pause and meditate.
Let us not waste our time in seeking
worldly or fleshly satisfaction, Matthew 6:24, Luke 12:13-21
Psalm 139:13-18 GOD has a plan
for our life!
:7-11 Where is our hope, in JESUS?
Do we fight against what GOD is doing in our lives? Or, do we yield our Will
and Response to our trials, tribulations, testing’s and persecutions? The Scriptures
are clear that GOD proves us by trials (James 1:2-4), happenstance (Luke
13:1-5) and Judgement (Matthew 5:23-26). We should be compelled by GOD’s
Love to Serve and Obey (2 Corinthians 5:14), but if not He will apply pressure
to call us to repentance (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).
:12-13 Our cry to GOD should be
one of sorrow for our sin and repentance from our sin (Psalm 51:1-2, 10-12, 17;
Philippians 2:12-14).
