This is “Namma for Christ” with the one
hundred thirtieth inspirational message dated Saturday, April 28th,
2018. The title of this message is, “My
Life is in Your Hands - Psalm 25:1-2”. The title of
this message is also the title of the above anointed song/video (with lyrics)
by Kirk Franklin. The message’s scripture is below as found in the first two
verses of Psalm 25 as written by the Psalmist David:
Psalm 25:1-2
New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm
25
A
psalm of David.
1 O Lord, I give
my life to You.
2 I trust in You, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
2 I trust in You, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
David dealt
with many challenges during his lifetime. At one time, he was being pursued and
hunted down by jealous King Saul. David
knew that if he put himself in the Lord’s care, he would be well taken care of
by the BEST – His Heavenly Father! The same
applies to us – If we do, as David did, and put ourselves in our Heavenly
Father’s “Unchanging Hands” – we can be assured that we will be SAFE in His
care. Just as the lyrics of Kirk
Franklins’ chorus (in the above song) state,
“Oh, I know that I can make it,
I know that I can stand –
No matter what may come my way,
My life is in Your hands.
See the
below verses:
Psalm 100:3
New King
James Version (NKJV)
3 Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Proverbs
3:5-6
New King
James Version (NKJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
The second verse in our scripture
says:
2 I trust in You, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
Once we have established our TRUST
in GOD – our dependence will not be on ourselves, but on our LORD and Savior
Jesus Christ! We WILL DEPEND on God! We will look to HIM and focus on our Lord
for EVERYTHING in our lives!
The verse continues by stating
that we, as believers, should not feel “disgraced” – or be ashamed or feel condemned.
Romans 8:1 reminds us:
Romans 8:1
New King
James Version (NKJV)
Free
from Indwelling Sin
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit.
If Jesus does not condemn us, then
why should we?
Lastly, the final verse states “do
not let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.”
God is your Defender, Helper and
your Protector! Look at what God says to you in Isaiah 41:10 –
Isaiah 41:10
New King
James Version (NKJV)
10 Fear not,
for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
God WILL protect you and BE WITH
YOU – no matter what you are going through! God is Your Refuge – see the below
encouraging verses:
Psalm 46:1
New King
James Version (NKJV)
God the Refuge of His People and
Conqueror of the Nations
46 God is our refuge and
strength,
A very present help in trouble.
A very present help in trouble.
Psalm 18:2
New King
James Version (NKJV)
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my
deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Isaiah 54:17
New King
James Version (NKJV)
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
Remember, “the battle is not yours, It’s the LORD’S”:
2 Chronicles
20:15
New King
James Version (NKJV)
15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Beloved…BE COMFORTED that GOD IS
WITH YOU!
“He will never leave you nor forsake you” as Hebrews 13:5 below confirms:
Hebrews 13:5
New King
James Version (NKJV)
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
