Sunday

Pondering the Psalms - Psalm 25

Each Sunday I am going to choose a Psalm and write down some brief thoughts on it.


Today I'm looking at Psalm 25 


This is another one of the Psalms of David





I'm looking at this Psalm in several parts:

V. 1-2
Where is our Trust?


V. 3
What is the Difference?


V. 4-5
Which Way should we go?


V. 6-7
Whose Grace?


V. 8-10
Who is the teacher?


V. 11-15
Who needs to have respect?



V. 16-22
What should we pray?






Where is our Trust?
It is in God because we know that He will not let us down.


What is the Difference?
The difference lies in the lives of God's people and the lives of those who do not believe and none of God's people need be ashamed about it.


He will not let us down!


Which way should we Go?
God should be the of the utmost importance to us because of our Salvation so we should want to go His way exactly and wait on Him long enough to know His way.

Whose Grace?
Because of His Salvation given to us, we can rely on Him to look on us as we are now and not as we were before.  His Grace covers us now even though we are not perfect.


Who is the Teacher?
The only good and upright being, the Lord God who looks on the humble and keeps His Promise with us.


He keeps His Promises!


Who needs to have Respect?
The one who desires to be taught by God, to prosper in God's way, to be the friend of God, to be under the protection of God and to know that great bound with God.


What should we Pray?
We should bare all to the Redeemer of our souls.
The troubles on our hearts, our need of His Forgiveness, the protection we desire, the Grace that only He can give.




So who do we thrust and why?

We trust God
 because
 He keeps His promises
 and
 will not let us down.









Oh that we would be humble and walk in His way.

Learning from Him and His Word and not from the words of others.
