The verses in today’s passage are full of declarations capable of inspiring confidence, courage and hope in those who proclaim trust in the Lord. Like the title of one of Josh McDowell’s books, this passage contains the “Evidence That Demands A Verdict.” David was mindful of all these when he emphasised an array of attributes of God. God never did, and never can do, wrong to anyone. The promises are faithfully performed by Him that made them. What then should a believer do upon recognition of God’s goodness? To trust Him, of course. And much more, to take up God’s cause and stand up for it anywhere, anytime. David demonstrated this when he declared that “thy word is very pure: therefore, thy servant loveth it” (verse 140). Zeal against sin should constrain us to do what we can against it. David showed this zeal even when it was clear to him that majority of people around him forgot God’s word. Our love for the word of God is evidence of our love for Him, because it is designed to make us partake of His holiness. It is also to make us, like David, commit ourselves to following God even when we are despised by men or counted as being in the company of the minority. When we are small and despised, we have more need to remember God’s precepts, that we may have them to support us. The Psalmist still held tenaciously to, and found delight in God’s commandment, despite the troubles around him at some point in time. Sorrow is often the lot of saints in this vale of tears, being in heaviness through manifold temptations. God’s word is to be relied upon, His promises to be believed as true and His commandments to be obeyed, whatever the circumstance may be. You are missing so much if you do not trust in Him. You cannot rightly trust in Him if you have not given your life to Him. Trust Him from today if you have been a ‘doubting’ Christian. Repent of your sins today if you are still a sinner. Then, begin forthwith to trust Him as the unfailing Father, Creator and God.
