Psalm 40:11
"Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me,
O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy
truth continually preserve me."
To the end of our life
we will continually need God’s lovingkindness, to deal mercifully with our
failures and sins; for His truth, is His faithfulness. The Covenant,
ordered all things to be sure, and that makes God, the
rock of our comfort, whether we are compassed by evils or overtaken
by iniquities. "For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me" (Ps. 40:12).
Our sense of sin grows with our increasing
knowledge of the holiness and love of God. They who are nearest to the heart of
God are least able to forgive themselves, even though they know they are
forgiven. But while we think hard thoughts against ourselves, and confess
ourselves to be poor and needy, we may take great comfort in God’s thoughts for
us: "But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God" (Ps. 40:17). God's thoughts are tender and loving. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jer. 29:11). Poverty and need are
never reasons for despair.
These things do not turn God’s interest away. They attract Him; just as a sick child will get more of the mother’s care
than other members of the family that are healthy. My Friends, there is no one that is not in God's eye view. God's plan is for all to live a good life, but we must remember; "We cannot live without God's grace in this live, and you want enjoy your next life if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour.
Amen!
