Psalm 31:5-14 (3/12/15)

Reproach

March 12, 2015 • Benham Brothers

When I google my name I see a lot of reproach.
When you stand for God's ways it will clash with the world's ways.
How did David handle this?
vs 5 - He gave God permission to take his life, just as Jesus did.
He died to his own dreams and visions of what he wanted to accomplish.
vs 14 - By dying to himself this set the stage for him to trust God in all things!
When you let go of what's in your hand God can give you what's in His.
He has peace that suprasses all understanding and joy unspeakable, but these cannot be yours so long as you fail to commit your spirit to God.
We have to be willing to "let go!"
Suffering is a choice.
vs 24 - "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!"
