What is the reason behind us Approaching God?
:
Why do we approach God?
How do we approach God?
What is our response when we approach God?
Psalm 5:1-
David’s Cry in trying times
David’s Cry in trying times
David does not tell the details of his distress, but the assumption must be made that he was distressed by the way he cries out to God.
David does not tell the details of his distress, but the assumption must be made that he was distressed by the way he cries out to God.
But notice where he attention is in his time of distress.
- He prays to God.
Many times we focus more on the problem then we do the solution.
Dealing on the problem does not fix the problem, sometimes it even increases the problem.
David here, turns to God who is the solution to His distress.
David makes a passionate appeal to God for help through prayer.
Both the verbal and emotional aspects of prayer
Listen to my words - David speaks to God.
Consider my sighing- The sound of sighing when you don’t have the words.
“The Spirit makes intercession for us when we don’t know what to pray”
After being married for a while a husband knows the sigh of his wife.
God knows our sighs.
David pours out his heart to God as He yearned for the Lord to intervene in his life.
David, being a king, still knows that he must turn to the King of the universe.
Why does David go to God in prayer and why should we?
He is King
We are not strangers to our king
Kings hear the appeal of their people and answer them for the good of the kingdom.
He is God
We are not strangers to our God.
We are worshippers of Him and He is ours by His own covenant, by His own promise, and by the blood of His own Son.
So, It is to Him and Him alone David prays to.
Where else would David go?
Where else would we go?
David’s Commitment to pray in the morning
David begins his day by going to the Lord in prayer.
What better way to begin our day?
We begin our week (Sunday) by worshipping God.
We should also begin our days by going to God in prayer.
David pleads his case to the Lord.
This has the picture of laying the wood in order on the altar in preparation for the the sacrifice.
David is laying out is prayers orderly and properly knowing that they are to God.
David waits expectantly.
Not only is David laying out his prayers orderly, but he does so expecting God to accept them as He would a sacrifice.
The picture is of the watchmen who stay awake watching all night to provide protection.
They were not to fall asleep.
I think of the old fire towers were people
We should pray expecting God to move.
Wether the answer is yes or no.
Trusting in God for outcome.
We do not need to fall sleep in expectation for God to answer prayer, just continue to watch expectantly.
David’s Conviction about sin
David understood that a Holy God does not delight in wickedness.
All believers should have a high view of God’s Holiness
Moses in ; Isaiah in ; Peter in ; John in
David understands that a Holy God can not approve , tolerate, or fellowship with sin.
That is why Hab. says “Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil.”
Its not that God does not see evil, but that evil is not tolerated in His sight.
David understands that because God is Holy, he must reject all sin and sinners.
David is saying that sin cannot stand in the presence of God.
God therefore, hates all those who sin.
You hate the act of sexually abusing a child and the person that commits that act.
Why? because it is a horrible crime.
- All sin is a horrible offense to God.
God hates sin because He is love.
God’s love fuels His hatred for sin.
Sin is what keeps His creation from Him.
So, because God loves His creation He hates anything and anyone that keeps someone from Him
That is why God so loved the world that he sent his one and only, unique Son to restore us back to Himself.
David’s Consecration before the Lord
Psalm 5:7-
David speaks of those of can come into the presence of God.
The only way way that sinners can come into the dwelling place of God i through His sacrificial love.
That love of Giving His Son as an atonement for sin, satisfying God’s Holy wrath towards sin.
David does not say that he enters God’s house on his own.
He enters by the abundance of God’s faithful love.
A love that is in abundance is more than we need
Enough to cover past, present, and future sins.
David responds to God’s gracious love by humbly coming into his presence.
David bows down before A holy God paying honor to Him
Because it is only through Christ He can approach God.
David’s fear is not one of terror, but of awe.
It is truly awesome by the blood of Christ to be in the presence of an Infinitely Holy God.
This is how we should God and this is how we should be in His presence.
David asks God to lead him in righteousness.
This something we could all use, more righteousness.
David wants to continue in a right way of living.
Why does He pray this?
Because his enemies.
Whatever is your enemy, whether people, temptation, or sin, it causes us to detour.
So, like David we should ask God to make the paths of our lives straight.
David’s Condemnation on his enemies.
Psalm 5:
David realizes that his enemies have nothing good to say about him.
They only want to do him harm .
Whatever enemies David had/You have they can be trusted because they do not have your best entrust at heart.
David realizes the reality of who wicked people are.
They may speak flattering words, but they are really like an open grave
An open grave stinks
