Trusting God In Psa25/27(Apr25)

God Is Good & My Salvation

Backgrounder on Psalms 25-30:
As David penned these six psalms,
he thought of the multifaceted
character of God he served.
The Lord is Good & Upright (Ps25:8)
My Light (Psalm 27:1),
My Strength (Psalm 28:7),
King Forever (Psalm 29:10)
and My God (Psalm 30:2, 12).

Lord, You are Good & Upright:
In You Lord my God, I put my trust.
I trust in You, do not let me
be put to shame, nor let my
enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in You will
ever be put to shame (Ps 25:1-3).
Show me Your ways, O Lord;
my hope is in You all day long (v4-5)
The Lord is my light & my salvation
so why should I be afraid? The
Lord protects me from danger, so
why should I tremble? (Psalm 27:1).
I would have lost heart, unless
I had believed that I would see
the goodness of the Lord… Wait
on the Lord; Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait I say on the Lord (v13-14).

Lord, we praise and thank You
that You are Good and Upright.
For You guide Your people and 
spare the faithful from shame.
Lord, I lift my soul to You for
You are good and I trust You
No one who walks with You
will ever be put to shame. 
I believe that You will make all
things right in the end; for You
are a God of Faithfulness. Amen.

Lord, I would love an easy life,
free of all trouble and confusion.
But You have never promise such
an existence. In fact, the testimony
of scripture is that I may have
to go through challenging times.
Thank You for promising to direct
me in the truth. Give me wisdom
and courage so that I’m willing to
walk with You where You lead. Amen

Almighty God, help me to see
the truth in Your Word. You are my
Light and my Salvation; and surely
You will protect me from all danger.
Indeed the Lord is the strength of
my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Help me draw close to You Lord and
to rest in the confidence I’ve in You.
Help me to banish fear in my life
even as I put my trust in You. Amen
