Scripture: Psalms 30: 1-3, 10
I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.(1-3) Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.”(10)
Scripture Commentary:
The Lord, Jesus Christ, not only died for you but also still looks out for you, even today. If you are in need, go to Him for help. (It’s funny that when we think everything is OK, we go about our lives as if nothing has happened. We become secure within ourselves until we need His help again.)
The feeling of our own invincibility is only temporary.
All that you have comes from God. Be careful that the wealth, power and fame doesn’t have an intoxicating effect on you. Do not feel so self-secure and self-reliant that you believe you are independent of God.
Don’t be trapped by a false security of prosperity.
If you say you have faith in God, then you must trust Him in both good and hard times. The hard times are the times that, if you believe in Him, you will witness for His love.
Depend on God for your security.
Do not depend on your earthly possessions for they will disappear. However, God will never leave you, so do not leave Him!
