Psalm 29-31 Total Reliance

Psalm 29
God’s power, strength and hugeness.
Psalm 30
Joy of the Lord, mercy and favor
Psalm 31
David is in distress and he is calling to his rescuer, his rock, his fortress.

Actually a couple of things hit me this morning. One is all the worship songs and praise choruses that get phrases from these three Psalms. And two, what a roller coaster ride David is on.
In Psalm 31, David is under several types of persecution….he senses betrayal, a sense of worthlessness, and disdain for those who are bringing him grief. And he still relies on God to deliver him.
I guess it should be some comfort to those of us who waiver in between times of blessing and times of trial. One thing that David recognizes is that God remains constant. Our circumstances change….but God is faithful and just, merciful and mighty to save.
