God Is Good & Upright
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 (P25:8)
my light (P27:1), my strength
(P28:7), King forever (P29:10)
and my God (P30:2, 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…
Guide me in your truth & teach me,
for you are God my Savior, and
my hope is in you all day long…
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners
in His ways (Isa 25:1-3, 5 & 8).
Lord, we praise and thank you
that You are Good and Upright.
For whilst You Guide your people
in the Truth and Instructs sinners
in Your Ways, You will also
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 U will
ever be put to shame. As long as
I know I am pleasing U it doesn’t
matter what others say or do.
I believe that you will make all
things right in the end. For You
are a God of Faithfulness. Amen.
Lord, I would love and 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 hard times.
Thank U for promising to direct
me in the truth. Give me wisdom
and courage so that I’m willing to
walk with U wherever U lead. Amen
Lord, thank you for your goodness.
Because you are good, you came
to a sinful world to die for me.
Because you are good, you show
the proper path to those who
go astray. Because you are good,
I don’t have to strive to be
“good enough” in order to be
acceptable to you. But out of
gratitude, I still want to be good
because of your holiness and
what you have done for me. Amen
