Psalm 62 – Stuck on Pause. God is Always Working In Us
August 15, 2021 • Ron Moore • Psalm 62
The Psalms include: • Lament psalm where the writer cries out to God • Thanksgiving psalms • Songs of Ascents (120-134) sung with people who were going up to Jerusalem to worship. • Praise psalms offering direct praise to God Psalm 62 – Keeping our focus on God • Declaration of personal worship (62:1-2) • David under personal attack (62:3-4) David’s friend issues: • Psalm 41:9 • Psalm 55:12-14 • Psalm 55:20-21 • Recommit to focus and surrender (62:5) • David stakes his deliverance and reputation on his trust in God. (62:7) • Don’t put your trust in people (62:9) • Steadfast love (62:11-12) This looks . . . like justice [rather] than mercy; but if we understand it to mean that God graciously rewards the poor, imperfect works of his people, we see in it a clear display of mercy . . . [We] have a double reason for waiting only upon God. Man neither helps us nor rewards us; God will do both. Spurgeon, Treasury of David, Vol. 2, 53.

Psalm 13 – Ghosted? God Never Leaves Us
July 11, 2021 • Ron Moore
Psalm 13 is written by David (the author of 73 of the 150 psalms). While we don’t know the specific context of the psalm, we do know that David is going through a challenging stretch. This psalm teaches us about opening talking to God and trusting him in the deep struggles of life. Psalm 13:1-2—How Long? In the first two verses David asks four desperate questions: How long with you forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul…? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Psalm 13:3-4—Rescue Me David shoots straight with God. Without God’s intervention, death is inevitable. Psalm 13:5-6—Trust In the middle of his desperate circumstance, David chooses to trust. He places his trust in God’s “steadfast love.” The word translated as “steadfast love” is from the Hebrew word, hesed. Used some 250 times in Scripture, hesed, is a rich word that describes the covenant relationship the believer has with the Heavenly Father.
