Psalm 21:7: For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Our Lord, like a true king and leader, was a master in the use of the weapons, and could handle well the shield of faith, for he has set us a brilliant example of unwavering confidence in God. Safe in his Father’s care, he knew that he was always heard in heaven; he committed his cause to him that judges right, and in his last moments he committed his spirit into the same hands. The joy was the joy of faith, and the victory was due to the same previous grace. A holy confidence in Jehovah is the true mother of victories. This psalm of triumph was composed long before our Lord’s conflict began, but faith overleaps the boundaries of time. 1
Living the Transformed Life
Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6
- Will you renew your trust in the Lord to provided for all your financial needs?
- Will you renew your trust in the Lord to make your marriage better than it has ever been?
- Will you renew your trust in the Lord, that He will lead your children to become fully committed servants for Jesus?
Since we all trust someone or something, let our trust be fully devoted to Him alone.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for Your continual mercy upon my life. Dear Jesus, keep me from fearing, and make me a more trusting disciple.
