Psalm 30
I feel that in verses eight through ten, the psalmist is saying, "How can I share a great testimony of your provision and healing if you continue to allow these bad things to happen to me?" It seems weird to seemingly call God out, saying if you want people to know about how God you are, you need to stop all this bad stuff and show me mercy.
Is that praying with boldness or praying without fear of the Lord? What do you think about this psalm?
Psalm 31
"be my rock...a strong fortress to save me...since you are...lead and guide me." I love the assumption after the question and how there is total trust. Then we find out that David is going through major trials which takes a person a little off guard considering how completely he is trusting God. And then we see him saying how he trusts God and praising Him for everything.
How often do we do that? Do we profess our trust in God before we tell people about our problems, then do we continue to trust and praise God for them to see? Do we testify to His faithfulness and strength through it all?
Psalm 32
When we confess our sins, then our mind, soul, and body is at peace and whole. When we live with pride and don't allow God into our lives then it all falls apart. Verses eight and nine are a great picture of how God will instruct us especially when we have a teachable spirit.
How humble are you? Can God guide you in the way He has planned for you?
Trusting God is hard, but praising Him through major trials can be down-right difficult. It's hard to be humble in order to recognize how God's going to work it all for good.
