My Walk with God

03/10/2026

David prayed that the enemies of God's church and people might be disabled to do further mischief. We may, in faith, pray against the designs of the enemies of the church. He foretells their ruin. And who knows the power of God's anger?

The victories of the Just One, in his own person and that of his servants, over the enemies of man's salvation, produce a joy which springs not from revenge, but from a view of the Divine mercy, justice, and truth, shown in the redemption of the elect, the punishment of the ungodly, and the fulfilment of the promises.

Whoever duly considers these things, will diligently seek the reward of righteousness, and adore the Providence which orders all thing aright in heaven and in earth.

Prayer

Loving Father who dwells in heaven, we praise and thank You, knowing that You are righteous and just. Help us to trust Your judgment and remain faithful, even when we see injustice around us.

May our lives testify that there is a reward for those who seek righteousness and walk faithfully with You. Keep our hearts humble and steadfast until the day You make all things right.

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

I am so sorry that men who want to be obedient to God put so much confidence in human sympathy and human help which disappoint so often. But God, the living God, is unchangeable. He is the same kind, tender, pitiful, loving Saviour today, yesterday, and forever.

Satan is now working with all his might, and leaving no means untried to unsettle minds because they see men of long experience make mistakes. But Jesus is faultless. Make God your entire trust. Pray, pray, pray, pray in faith. Then trust the keeping of your soul to God. He will keep that which is committed to Him against that day. Walk humbly with God.

The Lord sees every sorrow, every grief, every trial that besets the human soul, and He knows how to apply the balm. In God you can do valiantly. Tell it to the Lord in prayer, talk it to the Lord by the way. “Thee I seek; Thee I will follow; Thee I will serve.

Under the shadow of Thy wings will I abide. Command me as Thou wilt; I will obey Thy voice.” Yield always to the heavenly guidance. When trials come, possess your soul in patience. Wait on the Lord and have one purpose in view, to seek the eternal good of all those with whom you are connected, holding fast your integrity in the strength of your God.

He will redeem His promise. Your bread shall be provided; your water shall be sure. This means not only temporal bread and water but the bread and water of eternal life.

Stand in God. Work under the sweet influence of His grace. The truth of God sanctifying the heart of the believer guides his life. We may stand firmly and assuredly.

If you make the face of clay your dependence you lean on a reed that has oft broken in your hand and will break. Trust fully, unwaveringly, in God. He is the wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. We may keep the conscience unsullied and in peace and quiet rest in God.

Prayer

Almighty God in Heaven, our loving Father, we praise You and give glory to Your holy name, for You alone are our God, faithful and kind. Have mercy upon us, Lord, and forgive our shortcomings. In You alone our souls take refuge. Hide us under the shadow of Your wings and hold us in the palm of Your mighty hand until all our troubles have passed.

Loving Father, we humbly confess our sins, trusting in Your promise that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thank You for Your unfailing mercy and grace. We hold fast to Your precious promises, believing that You will never leave us nor forsake us.

Heavenly Father, we continue to cry out to You, O Most High, trusting that in Your perfect time, You will fulfill Your purpose in our lives. Great is Your love, reaching to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the skies. Teach us to wait patiently upon You, to trust Your wisdom in every trial, and to find our deepest joy in worshipping You in spirit and in truth.

May our hearts remain humble before You, our faith grow stronger in Your promises, and our lives bring honor and glory to Your holy name. Thank You for being our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in times of trouble.

We surrender ourselves into Your loving hands, trusting in Your unfailing love and abiding presence, until the day we see Your face.

In the precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

David comforts himself, in his distress and fear, that God noticed all his grievances and all his griefs. God has a bottle and a book for his people's tears, both the tears for their sins, and those for their afflictions. He observes them with tender concern.

Every true believer may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and then I will not fear what man shall do unto me; for man has no power but what is given him from above.

Thy vows are upon me, O Lord; not as a burden, but as that by which I am known to be thy servant; as a bridle that restrains me from what would be hurtful, and directs me in the way of my duty.

And vows of thankfulness properly accompany prayers for mercy. If God deliver us from sin, either from doing it, or by his pardoning mercy, he has delivered our souls from death, which is the wages of sin.

Where the Lord has begun a good work he will carry it on and perfect it. David hopes that God would keep him even from the appearance of sin.

We should aim in all our desires and expectations of deliverance, both from sin and trouble, that we may do the better service to the Lord; that we may serve him without fear. If his grace has delivered our souls from the death of sin, he will bring us to heaven, to walk before him for ever in light.

Prayer
Almighty Father in Heaven, with a humble and contrite heart, we come before You, trusting that You are on our side. When we feel surrounded by troubles, fear, or uncertainty, remind us that You see every tear, hear every prayer, and know every burden we carry.

Forgive us for the times we have doubted Your presence and forgotten Your faithfulness. Help us to surrender every fear into Your loving hands and trust that You are working even when we cannot see the way. Please strengthen our heart, uphold us by Your grace, and deliver us according to Your perfect will.

Thank You, Father, for never abandoning Your children. May ou life continually testify that You are faithful, merciful, and worthy of all our trust.

In the precious and holy Name of Jesus, Amen.

David looked forward to worshiping in the sanctuary, despite being pursued by enemies (1 Samuel 23:19–20) and praying for God's rescue (Psalm 54:1–3). His confidence in God was so strong that he entrusted all justice and retribution into the Lord's care (Psalm 54:4–5).

This verse continues that assured praise; David plans for how he will praise and honor God once the danger has been overcome. Because David had been rescued in the past (Psalm 54:7), he is all the more sure the Lord will preserve him in this situation.

As the name suggests, a "freewill offering" was not required. It was voluntary and would express David's gratitude for the Lord's goodness. Believers in the Church Age should voluntarily present themselves to the Lord out of gratitude for His kindnesses.

Paul writes in Romans 12:1: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." In addition, Christian believers should thank the Lord always for present blessings and a glorious future.

First Thessalonians 5:16–18 exhorts believers to "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Hebrews 12:28–29 says, "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."

Prayer

Almighty Father in Heaven, with a humble and grateful heart, we offer You our praise and thanksgiving. Thank You for Your goodness, mercy, and unfailing love. May our lives be a living offering of gratitude, honoring Your Holy Name in all that we do.

Teach us to trust You more deeply and to remain faithful, even in times of difficulty. May our hearts always delight in Your presence and give thanks for all Your blessings.

In the precious Name of Jesus, Amen.

Those wretchedly deceive themselves, who think to support themselves in power and wealth without God. The wicked man trusted in the abundance of his riches; he thought his wickedness would help him to keep his wealth.

Right or wrong, he would get what he could, and keep what he had, and ruin any one that stood in his way; this he thought would strengthen him; but see what it comes to! Those who by faith and love dwell in the house of God, shall be like green olive-trees there. And that we may be as green olive-trees, we must live a life of faith and holy confidence in God and his grace.

It adds much to the beauty of our profession, and to fruitfulness in every grace, to be much in praising God; and we never can want matter for praise. His name alone can be our refuge and strong tower.

It is very good for us to wait on that saving name; there is nothing better to calm and quiet our spirits, when disturbed, and to keep us in the way of duty, when tempted to use any crooked courses for our relief, than to hope, and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. None ever followed his guidance but it ended well.

Prayer
Almighty Father in Heaven, we praise You and give glory to Your Holy Name, for You alone are our God faithful, merciful, and kind. No name under heaven and earth is worthy of all our praise and adoration but Yours.

Loving Father, thank You for sustaining us and for allowing us to flourish like green olive trees in Your house. Help us to remain rooted in Your love, trusting in Your unfailing mercy and grace. When we feel weak or weary, remind us that our strength and security are found in You alone.

May our lives continually testify of Your goodness and faithfulness. Keep our hearts humble, steadfast, and grateful, trusting in Your mercy forever and ever.

In the precious and loving Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Purge me with hyssop, with the blood of Christ applied to my soul by a lively faith, as the water of purification was sprinkled with a bunch of hyssop. The blood of Christ is called the blood of sprinkling, Galatians 5:1.

It is the Spirit of adoption spoken to the heart. Those to whom God is the God of salvation, he will deliver from guilt; for the salvation he is the God of, is salvation from sin.

We may therefore plead with him, Lord, thou art the God of my salvation, therefore deliver me from the dominion of sin. And when the lips are opened, what should they speak but the praises of God for his forgiving mercy?

Prayer

Loving Father, Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me. Wash away the thoughts, attitudes, and sins that separate me from You.

Help me to walk humbly before You, with a heart that loves what is good and desires to please You. May Your Holy Spirit continually transform me and make my life a reflection of Your grace.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbour better than all burnt-offerings. We are here warned not to rest in these performances. And let us beware of resting in any form.

God demands the heart, and how can human inventions please him, when repentance, faith, and holiness are neglected? In the day of distress we must apply to the Lord by fervent prayer. Our troubles, though we see them coming from God's hand, must drive us to him, not drive us from him.

We must acknowledge him in all our ways, depend upon his wisdom, power, and goodness, and refer ourselves wholly to him, and so give him glory. Thus must we keep up communion with God; meeting him with prayers under trials, and with praises in deliverances.

A believing supplicant shall not only be graciously answered as to his petition, and so have cause for praising God, but shall also have grace to praise him.
By: Matthew Henry

Prayer

Merciful Heavenly Father,

In times of trouble, help us to call upon You with humble and trusting hearts. Forgive us when we try to carry our burdens alone. Teach us to depend fully upon You, knowing that You hear our cries and are always near.

Father, deliver us from our troubles, strengthen our weak hearts, and help us to glorify You through every answered prayer. May our lives continually testify of Your goodness, faithfulness, and unfailing love.

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Believers should not fear death. The distinction of men's outward conditions, how great soever in life, makes none at death; but the difference of men's spiritual states, though in this life it may seem of small account, yet at and after death is very great.

The soul is often put for the life. The God of life, who was its Creator at first, can and will be its Redeemer at last. It includes the salvation of the soul from eternal ruin.

Believers will be under strong temptation to envy the prosperity of sinners. Men will praise thee, and cry thee up, as having done well for thyself in raising an estate and family. But what will it avail to be approved of men, if God condemn us?

Those that are rich in the graces and comforts of the Spirit, have something of which death cannot strip them, nay, which death will improve; but as for worldly possessions, as we brought nothing into the world, so it is certain that we shall carry nothing out; we must leave all to others.

The sum of the whole matter is, that it can profit a man nothing to gain the whole world, to become possessed of all its wealth and all its power, if he lose his own soul, and is cast away for want of that holy and heavenly wisdom which distinguishes man from the brutes, in his life and at his death.

And are there men who can prefer the lot of the rich sinner to that of poor Lazarus, in life and death, and to eternity? Assuredly there are. What need then we have of the teaching of the Holy Ghost; when, with all our boasted powers, we are prone to such folly in the most important of all concerns!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us through Psalm 49 that the riches and treasures of this world cannot save us or give us eternal life.

Keep our hearts humble and help us not to put our trust in wealth, possessions, or human strength, but in You alone.

Teach us to seek the riches of Your grace and to live each day with eternity in our hearts. May we always remember that You are our Redeemer and our true treasure.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We have here the improvement which the people of God are to make of his glorious and gracious appearances for them. Let our faith in the word of God be hereby confirmed. Let our hope of the stability of the church be encouraged.

Let our minds be filled with good thoughts of God. All the streams of mercy that flow down to us, must be traced to the fountain of His loving-kindness. Let us give to God the glory of the great things he has done for us.

Let all the members of the church take comfort from what the Lord does for his church. Let us observe the beauty, strength, and safety of the church. Consider its strength; see it founded on Christ the Rock, fortified by the Divine power, guarded by Him who neither slumbers nor sleeps.

See what precious ordinances are its palaces, what precious promises are its bulwarks, that you may be encouraged to join yourselves to it: and tell this to others.

This God, who has now done such great things for us, is unchangeable in his love to us, and his care for us. If he is our God, he will lead and keep us even to the last. He will so guide us, as to set us above the reach of death, so that it shall not do us any real hurt. He will lead us to a life in which there shall be no more death.

Prayer

Loving Father, in your mighty hands we submit and surrender our lives for you alone is our God and none is above You. Your name alone is worthy of all our praises and adoration for you are our God forever and ever.

Father, thank you for you never slumber nor sleep just to guard us and keep us safe from the enemy of our souls. Help us to trust You with all our hearts and minds and continue to serve and praise You until the end, for you alone is our guide even unto death. In Jesus precious name. Amen
