Scripture: Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord , my faithful God. Psalms 31:5 NIV Application: There is such an instructional sorting out of troubled emotions in David's poems. Sometimes he focuses on his restfulness in God, using the words that Jesus did on the Cross, "Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord , my faithful God." (Psalms 31:45). David isn't delusional to think his life will be trouble-free, but he boldly expects God to deliver him from every problem. "The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;"(Psalms 34:19) He knows that relief doesn't come immediately, "Wait for the Lord ; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Psalms 27:14). What some people call "karma" is real to David, i.e., if you do wrong, you'll get wrong. "Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.' (Psalms 7:15) But evil people can't harm us without God's authorization, "Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.(Psalms 27:12). And at that point, our minds should circle back to God for peace (again, Psalm 31:5). °We should read the Psalms for psychological guidance and realignment toward correct thinking. Our emotions will follow correctly. Prayer: Father God, our minds keep returning to problems that may not even occur or be as bad as we imagine. Please give us rest and assurance in Your Word as we wait on Your deliverance from all of our problems. Amen. Comments are closed.
