Psalm 32
1Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
5Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
6Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
11Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
No were in the Bible says that if we live obediently before GOD we will miss all the trouble. He says if we live godly in Christ Jesus we can expect and anticipate prosecution because of righteousness before GOD and our righteousness before men. Also there will be mundane daily troubles because of the system we live in the world that opposes to GOD. We are going to be part of the system, troubles and heartaches of life.
There will be troubles and heartaches of all different types. It could be that the trouble GOD allowed in our life something we did not expect or foresee is coming. Sometime we need trouble more than blessing; our character gets strengthen. From GOD’s point of view He put blessing on it. If we didn’t have them we will miss out on GOD’s most precious blessings. He makes you to be blessing to someone else. There is something GOD will not rescue you straight away. He will watch you flow right down the stream, right through the falls.
Often times when GOD puts us in a little valley and we don’t know how to respond. All kind of difficulty, calamity may come. GOD will give you the truth, the information, the facts about the situation. GOD knows all the facts about your situation and troubles. He is going to show you how to apply the truth in your circumstances. He will guide us with His loving eye, very quietly and preciously. Those are hinging on your willingness to focus your attention upon GOD and follow very preciously exactly and do what He wants you to do. Then He will bring you out of it. He wants our focus constantly be upon Him.
He will guide us very gently and preciously and we must follow exactly what He tells us to do. He is interested in squeezing out every positive response in your life which means He wants to build everything that He wants to build in you. Troubles teaches us to obey GOD; precise exact obedience.
I got to have real longing in my heart for GOD to guide me, bring me through these things in His way.
I got to be willing to learn from GOD. Then I will develop very keen ear to what GOD says and it will come more and more natural for us to obey GOD. Precise, exact obedience. You got to yield to GOD’s way.
Verbal adoration in GOD, shouting for joy. Focus your attention on GOD. He will change your circumstances and bring you through it. He will bring you healing and victory at the end of it.
