Psalm 16

October 8, 2017 • Tom Hendrikse

David's distress drove him to God, and to publicly stake his fate on God before his family and a watching world. As a result, the peril was good, though he probably didn't call it such at the moment. Is it time to change a label on something in your life?

Tom's Questions:
1) What difficult or "bad" thing are you facing in life right now?
2) What is it teaching you about your soul (who or what you're really looking to for identity, safety, and security)?
3) How might God being trying to use it to drive you to himself and to get you to publicly stake your fate on God? (Because if that's the end result, then it is good!)

Our series from the psalms concludes with the first of five consecutive psalms of praise. The psalmist praises God who dispenses both mercy and justice. If we honestly have faith in that same God, we will lead lives characterized by the same traits.

God knows everything about you: everything you do, say and think. Despite knowing you better than anyone else ever could, he loves you and has declared you righteous. From before you existed, God has seen and ordained every day of your life.

Martin Luther said this psalm was one of his favorites because the gospel was evident in it. He even wrote a hymn, "From Depths of Woe I Raise to Thee" based on Psalm 130. Pastor Sam Kastensmidt unveils God's tender love for us, expressed in this psalm.
