A Psalm of David
A Psalm of David
I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
God My Saviour
we have all needed God to save us in our lifetime
some of us, some who will come into Liberty
they are exactly where David is in this psalm
there is a complaint, there is trouble
the turmoil is real and the solution is hazy
Cry Out to the Lord
the response to trouble is simple
cry aloud to the Lord
seek his mercy for it is there
aloud means do not keep in
do not think that you can overcome in your own strength
God is our Saviour, our protector, our rock
let him be that
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
Our Weakness
our spirit may grow faint
understand that somethings may rattle us, may knock us for six
sometimes people are our worst enemies
the truth is there - you watch over me
we must place God as our prime redeemer
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
The Whinges of Life
no one is there for me
I am not safe
I have no refuge
no oe cares for me
blah blah blah the list is endless
True Statement
You are my refuge
You are my portion
we must go here instead of despair
put our faith in the promises of God
You are my portion in the land of the living
as a born again believer we are living in the land of the living
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
Follow Up Desperation
I am in desperate need
I am being pursued - not just persons but events, happenings, situations
David declares he cannot save himself
Lord rescue me!
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
set me free from the prison of my mind, my feelings, my broken body
then I will praise you
the realization that I am free
the righteous will gather
the righteous will support and nuture
