David in his Psalms - Psalm 52 (B)

Read: Psalm 52: 5-9; Psalm 1: 3; Jeremiah 29: 11

But I am like an olive tree, flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.

Psalm 52: 8

       We have been raining for three days, the air is flesh and clean, no dusts are like before. My green peppers' garden enjoys the raining. Yesterday I started to give the green peppers aways for harvest. I also eat them every day. Then I don't need to go to local market to buy other vegetables again. I enjoy God's season for me! Praise His Name!

       Today, we continue to look into Psalm 52: 5-9. I believe that we will get more lesson for our lives than another day. The principles are blow:

(3) The judgement of God. (V 5)

       "Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living." David trusted God who will bring the judgement on them. They will not be longer living, because of ruin and destruction. So I believe that the Christian treat one badly, God will go to judge this life, then we don't need to wait the judgement Day. Praise the Lord for this verse!

(4) see them destruction and fear God. ( V 6-7)

      "The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying. Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!"  We are Christians, by God's grace and mercy, we are righteous by our faith, we will see God's doing for the wicked people, we will grow our fear in Him, not men. If a man does trust his great wealth and grew Strong by destroying others, God will destroy him suddenly.

(5) Trust God's unfailing love. (V 8)

      "But I am like an olive tree, flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever." It is like Psalm 1: 3 said, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. whatever he does prospers." We trust God's unfailing love, believe his purpose which is best for us. We will grow in God and yield the fruit in season, leaf does green and we will prospers. Then we see Jeremiah 29:11 said, "For I know the plans I have for you, delclares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future." We have hope and future, because the plans of God make to prosper us. Praise the Lord!

(6) Praise the Lord. (V9)

      "I (David) will praise you (God) forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints." I love David's Psalms, he always turn into praise the Lord, not his problems, but God. He raised his faith up and toward God's help alone.

        Tomorrow, we will see Psalm 54 about another David's history event.

Praising God who will make a way for you, where seem no way.
