Psalm 7:1-17 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:… I. THE CONDITIONS OF TRUST IN GOD. 1. We must lay to heart the glorious truth of the everlasting love of God towards us, and realise that He is our reconciled Father in Christ. 2. We must ever seek to do His will. We cannot "rest in the calm sun glow of His face" if we are not earnestly seeking to do the things that please Him. 3. We must not trust in ourselves. The pride of the human heart is great, hence we are unwilling to confess our inability to keep God's commandments. 4. We must not trust in others. Asa's end a warning against trusting in an arm of flesh (2 Chronicles 16:12, 13). II. WE OUGHT TO TRUST IN GOD. 1. In times of loneliness and depression (John 16:32; Psalm 56:3). 2. Times of danger, difficulty, and temptation. God is our refuge (Psalm 57:1); our guide (Psalm 48:14); God is faithful (1 Corinthians 10:13). III. THE RESULT OF TRUST IN GOD. 1. Blessedness (Psalms 84:12). 2. Perfect peace (Isaiah 26:8). (J. P. Wright.) Parallel Verses KJV: {Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:WEB: Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, |
