Be brave. Be strong. Don’t give up. Expect GOD to get here soon.
(Psalm 31:24 MSG)
Pray this
over your life:
You are my God v14
Hour by hour I place my days (my future)
in your hand v15
(Msg)
Deliver me from my enemies v15
May your favor
(face) wash over me v16
Rescue me because of your love for me v16
I will
always call on the Lord and will not walk in shame v17
You will silence the
enemy v18
This is David's cry and response to the devastating sin and shame in his life. In Verses 9-13, David focuses on what is happening in his life – the complete anguish of his sin and the response of others to his shame. He seems to be in very serious trouble.
In the rest of the psalm, he describes God’s response to sin. Oh what complete love!! Through these verses we can find 28 descriptions of God's love and faithfulness in our lives. That makes 7 in front of us, 7 behind...7 on the left and 7 on the right!!! He surrounds us with His love!
