He Didn’t Stop There
In verse 3, the Psalmist shows exceptional, unwaivering faith in God. The Psalmist speaks with authority. He shows definite trust in the Almighty. As stated, it’s not sure if King David or Moses holds the authorship to the Book of Psalm. However, what is definite is that both men had exceptional faith. David exemplifies his surmountable faith in Psalm 23.
“The Lord is my shepherd (David shows ownership here).”
Moses also displayed astronomical faith. In Psalm 90:1, he writes:
“Lord you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations...from everlasting to everlasting you are god.”
God desires this type of faith from us today! Unfortunately, we place our trust in people and/or things, and when they fail us, then we want to place blame on God. God tells us neither to place our trust or confidence in man (Psalm 118:8-9). Yet, we do exactly what God instructs us not to do. It’s something about that sinful nature of man. Why is it when we know we shouldn’t do something, we seek to do it anyway and then get upset about it when it doesn’t work out? It is only when all else fails that we decide well, “I’ guess I will give God a try, nothing else has worked.” However, God wants us to “seek him first” and not to use him as an alternative.
The Psalmist emphatically says, “Surely he shall deliver thee.” That’s the same type of faith God desires for you and I to have, or as I like to call it, ‘definite faith.’ Remember the scripture clearly states, ‘all things with God are possible.’ This faith doesn’t waiver regardless to the circumstances or situation. It is a faith that comes with maturation. It’s a faith that doesn’t believe ‘the snares (traps, tricks) of the enemy.’ Moreover, it’s a faith that “If God said it, I believe it – so that settles it.”
If you look back over your life and see the many hurdles you’ve crossed – hurdles that seemed impossible, you will also see that the enemy placed obstacles there and wanted you to believe that was the end.
Formats Book Details There are times in our lives that we feel imprisoned. This book is a guide to help the people of God overcome life's adversities, life's prisons. See, I was losing my home, my husband was incarcerated, my children were living in other parts of the country, and the dog and I were home alone. Poor little me! You know we love pity parties. Often we stay in our prisons, that is, prisons of self-pity, fear, anger, jealousy, abuse, etc., because we have an improper focus. We place value on the wrong things and people. When we get to these points in our lives, we should follow the blueprint in Psalms 91 to find solace in our times of despair. Pastor Saunders is a licensed and ordained minister.
