Who Needs PSALM Security? I Know I Do...
Psalm 30 was a psalm that acknowledges the tough times that come as living as God’s child and how we would feel secure when we call upon His name. It is actually a very assuring psalm too.It can be seen from v1-3 that these verses complement with each other.
V1- I will exalt you, O Lord,
For you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
V2 – I called to you for help
And you healed me.
V3 – O Lord, you brought me up from the grave;
You spared me from going down into the pit.
V4 - Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
Praise his holy name.
These 4 verses alone have showed that the Lord will save us when we call upon His name…Would you sing to the Lord and praise his holy name today?
V5 shows a contrast
For his anger lasts only a moment,
But his favour lasts a lifetime;
Weeping may remain for a night,
But rejoicing comes in the morning.
This verse actually shows a very simple conclusion; Difficulties don’t last, God’s care does.
V6-7 are actually verses that talks about the sense of security we find in God.
V8-10 are verses that help us think why we call upon the Lord.
V11-12 shows the promises of God when we call upon His name.
In all, this psalm really focus on one thing: Be thankful for God is our refuge in times of uncertainty.
