David had a sick soul. "Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? ...An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more." But he remembered God's goodness. "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive." Do not believe the prognosis rendered by your enemies. Talk to God.
Psalms 41:4 - "I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee."
PRINCIPALS - "Light And Truth Lead Me To Thy Holy Hill"
Despondency was a frequent visitor to David. Same enemies. Same frustrations. Same questions. But every time, David prayed to God and his spirit revived.
Psalms 43:3 - "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him."
PRINCIPLES - "Deep Calleth Unto Deep"
David elaborated his hunger and thirst for God. "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." So, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul?" Then a curious observation, "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts." Like a dreadful monsoon or tornado dips down from the sky and siphons water from the sea, the deep of God calls to the deep of man amidst great turmoil.
Psalms 42:11 - "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God."
PROPHECIES - "Mine Own Familiar Friend, In Whom I Trusted"
At the Last Supper, Jesus sopped the bread and gave it to Judas Iscariot, who then betrayed him. He said, "I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me," John 13:18. 1000 years earlier, King David suffered a devastating betrayal loaded with prophetic implications of Christ. In the heat of your trial, remember God has a purpose.
Psalms 41:9 - "Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me."
