Notes: July 28, 2008 - Psalms 31 & 86

Bob Feather July 28th, 2008

Psalm 31

  • The psalm concludes by calling on all the saints to be encouraged in the Lord (Psalm 31:23-24). These words would be true even if David had enjoyed a sedate lifestyle; but coming from one who had experienced the worst hatred and lies that men could deliver, these words are even more powerful.
  • How often do we ask God to do something for His own names sake (Psalm 31:3)?
  • David committed his spirit into the hands of God (Psalm 31:5); Stephen did (Acts 7:59);and Jesus did, too (Luke 23:46). Shouldn’t you?
  • The next time you say, “I don’t have time,” remember Psalm 31:15.
  • Be slow to speak, lest you say something false (Psalm 31:22).

Psalm 86

  • “For” arguments why God should listen in Psalm 86:1-4.
  • David (Psalm 86:8) agrees with Moses (Exodus 15:11) that there is no other god like God.
  • The world would be a better place if all nations would worship God and glorify His name (Psalm 86:9).
  • A token for good (Psalm 86:17). Who wouldn’t want an added faith boost?

Galatians 2:4
4And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Luke 4:16-21
16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Isaiah 61:1
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
1 Corinthians 10:23-33
23All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
Romans 14:1-23
1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Notes: July 27, 2008 - 1 Samuel 28:1-2; Psalm 25

Bob Feather July 27th, 2008

1 Samuel 28:1-2

When the Philistines prepare to attack Israel again, David and his men are expected to help attack Judah. Now David has a big problem.

Psalm 25

  • Ashamed (Psalm 25:2-3,20). This was not a request that David’s pride be untouched; but rather that David not be put down and become a disgrace to God.
  • Ways and paths (Psalm 25:4)-doctrine and practice. What else should we know about God?
  • Sins of our youth (Psalm 25:7). Don’t we all have things we’d rather that God not remember?
  • God is good (Psalm 25:8). God is always good.
  • If God saves us, it’s not because we are so great, but because He is (Psalm 25:11).
  • Unlike some people I know, God doesn’t tell everyone He meets everything that’s on His mind (Psalm 25:14).
