It’s all in the Plan!

Psalm 138 is a rather short poem/psalm however, no one can say that it is abrupt or that it was not fine tuned. We see David declaring his praises, giving reason for his praises, declaring future praise sessions and then his unwavering faith in the Lords plan for his life.

Imagine feeling like a misfit, unwanted, unappreciated, caught up in a whirlwind of struggles and temptation and feeling as if this place, this world, this body, this family, this church, these friends, this job, is just not for you. Hard pressed on every side with no way of escape in sight.

Things may not be looking all bright for many but keep your praise, continue to exercise your faith. God has a plan! Even before the beginning of time. Long before your very conception and even now. It still stands!

David was a man who went through many different stages throughout his life. Scripture tells us, he remains a very well decorated character. Similarly, you and I have gone through or experienced different stages in our lives and lived to share our testimonies.

A look at David’s life reminds us as believers that we are all here for a purpose. God planned for you and I to be here today, in this moment. He included us in His divine plan for His family.

In today’s watchword, Psalm 138:8a, “the Lord will perfect that which concerneth me”. David had the right attitude of and for praise which is why he was able to be so bold in asserting this fact.

Brothers and sisters, as children of God, we each have a responsibility to represent our Father. This life with all its cares may burden us down but that does not negate the fact that God’s will must be done.

Be reminded, be encouraged, for there is no life happening or experience that can outweigh the love of God.

Paul wrote, : I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. Phil 1:6

Until next week, I leave you with a reminder from Charles Spurgeon, “adversaries may be many, and malicious and mighty, but our glorious Defender has only to stretch out His arm and their armies vanish.”

Amen
