Psalms 18

Psalms 18: 29 – 50

When we praise for one mercy, we must observe the many more, with which we have been compassed all our days. Many things had contributed to David’s advancement, and he owns the hand of GOD in them all, to teach us to do likewise.

In verse 32, and the following verses, are the gifts of GOD to the spiritual warrior, whereby he is prepared for the contest, after the example of his victorious Leader.​

Learn that we must seek release being made through CHRIST, shall be rejected. In David the type, we behold out of trouble through CHRIST. The prayer put up, without reconciliation, JESUS our Redeemer, conflicting with enemies, compassed with sorrows and with floods of ungodly men, enduring not only the pains of death but the wrath of GOD for us; yet calling upon the FATHER with strong cries and tears; rescued from the grave; proceeding to reconcile or to put under his feet all other enemies, till death, the last enemy, shall be destroyed.

We should love the LORD, our Strength, and our Salvation; we should call on HIM in every trouble, and praise HIM for every deliverance; we should aim to walk with HIM in all righteousness and true holiness, keeping from sin. If we belong to HIM, HE conquers and reigns for us, and we shall conquer and reign through HIM, and partake of the mercy of our anointed King, which is promised to all His seed forevermore. Amen.

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
Deuteronomy 3: 8 – 29
Deuteronomy 3: 25
Let me cross over.
Moses had seriously disobeyed GOD and was told he would not be allowed to enter Canaan. Yet he pleaded with GOD to change HIS mind and allow him to cross the Jordan River and enter the Promised Land. GOD refused in order to teach that sin by a spiritual leader has grave consequences and will incur a stricter judgment. Spiritual leaders of GOD’s people can disqualify themselves from certain areas of ministry if they seriously fail to be examples of obedience.

NEW TESTAMENT
✝
Romans 2: 25 – 3: 8
Romans 2: 29​
Circumcision…of the heart, in the spirit.
This is GOD’s work of grace in the hearts of the believers whereby they participate in the divine nature and become capable of living a pure life separated from sin for the glory of GOD. Thus, holy living becomes the outward sign that we are under the new covenant.
