Psalm 25:12-18 KJVS
What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. [13] His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the earth. [14] The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, and he will shew them his covenant. [15] Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. [16] Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. [17] The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. [18] Look upon mine affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins.
We are all sinners, and Christ came into the world to save sinners, teach sinners, and call sinners to repentance. We value a promise by the character of him that makes it; we, therefore, depend upon God’s promises.
All the paths of the Lord, that is, all his promises and all his providences, are mercy and truth. In all God’s dealings, his people may see his mercy displayed and his word fulfilled, whatever afflictions they are now exercised with.
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, and so it will appear when they come to their journey’s end. Those that are humble, that distrust themselves, and desire to be taught and to follow Divine guidance, these he will guide in judgment, that is, by the rule of the written word, to find rest for their souls in the Saviour.
Even when the body is sick and in pain, the soul may be at ease in God. The psalmist concludes, as he began, with expressing dependence upon God and desire toward him.
It is good thus to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. And if God turns to us, no matter who turns from us. He pleads his own integrity. Though guilty before God, yet, as to his enemies, he had the testimony of conscience that he had done them no wrong.
God would, at length, give Israel rest from all their enemies roundabout. In heaven, God’s Israel will be perfectly redeemed from all troubles. Blessed Saviour, thou hast graciously taught us that without thee, we can do nothing.
Remember, these messages are given by a humble servant obedient to our Lord Yeshua as a Watchman. I pray for all. ”Our Heavenly Father brings us to the river which bringeth forth fruit so we may partake of its sustenance and be filled spiritually with nurturing wisdom, and humble dedication in service to Yeshua. “Blessings to All.” As you go forward in peace, knowledge, and strength.
