Psalm 5
Vv. 1-2—I “cry for help.”
BE SPECIFIC!
V. 3—I “wait.”
Wait in “Refuge”—Somewhere Alone to Listen
Twice in the Sermon on the Mount—Mt. 6.6, 18—Jesus says the Father will meet us in “secret.” As the Father looks upon us in some quiet, private place, He will speak loving, truthful, and empowering words to us.
Vv. 4-6—I confront “évil.”
“Evil” is the translation of the Hebrew word rashah, which means the confusion, anxiety, destructiveness, error, misunderstanding, etc., and therefore the troublesomeness of the circumstances that surrounds us.
Vv. 7-8—I “come.
God will lead us into His righteousness. (Ephesians 4.22-24; Ps. 4.4-5).
Vv. 9-10—I “resist.”
Oppositions, hardship, weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12.9-10; Romans 8.26-37) within and without will always be present and must be resisted with persistent, disciplined endurance to find and follow God’s directions for His purposes in through, and beyond the issue about which we are seeking His Grace and Peace.
Vv. 11-12—I Rejoice.”
Gladness, joy, protection, love, and favor abound and the love of God fills our hearts and overflows to others like a river of living water (John 7.37-39)
