SHOW THE WONDER OF YOUR GREAT LOVE
Keywords 17:7
Show the wonder of your great love, you
who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
1.
I call on you, O God (1-9)
This psalm expresses David’s cry for help in a time of great
trouble. He cried out to God in prayer because evil men were attacking him.
Many people curse, complain, and slander in the midst of personal agonies.
However, David had already resolved not to sin with his lips and not to take
vengeance with his hands. Instead, he entrusted his life and all justice to
God. He asked to see God’s great love for him and for God to keep him as the
apple of his eye. David believed God’s love for him and held on to and obeyed God’s word.
2. Satisfied with your likeness
(10-15)
David’s enemies were like hungry lions,
waiting to devour him like prey. He asked God to confront them and to rescue
him. David believed God would deal with his enemies in justice and vindicate
him. But even more than having his immediate troubles resolved, David longed to
see God’s face. One day he would awake in
the kingdom of God and be truly satisfied in God’s presence.
Prayer Lord, thank you for your love for
sinners like me. Please protect me from my enemy Satan.
One Word God’s great love for his children
