This chapter shows how David had to run from Absalom; years after he had to run away from David and everyone else after he killed his brother in revenge for raping his sister. When studying that passage we see that David should have made an attempt to communicate with his son as the act of incest would have been worthy at that time of the death penalty; albeit not in the way craftily planned out as personal revenge for two years.
Since these Psalms for whatever reason are not in chronological order; we see a time much later in David's life when his long struggles with Saul were over. Now; he faced a similar situation with his own offspring where he had to run and hide. He knew from experience that despite what men may have said (verse 2); he could rest in contentment (v. 5). He also knew that having God on his side was superior to numbers (v. 6). We see either the result from the past or in this case of imprecatory prayer; or at the least trusting God to destroy his enemies (v. 7). The last verse sort of hammers home that for His people salvation comes (knowing the true God) and blessings. This is based of course; not only on God's covenant promises but the faithfulness of the individual. Some of David's stuggles were based on his past misdeeds and God's chastisements as warned by Nathan the prophet and by God Himself (in the case of the punishment for taking the census to find out man's strength rather than trusting God). Ultimately; the Messiah would be born through David's lineage so that all things would be fulfilled. It was His Name's sake that allowed many things to be as good as done; which included forgiving constant rebellion among kings and with the population at large.
Being given a godly mother is the best gift in the world. Knowing God gave you to each other. This is how we learn, Gods heart of Love. Scripture declares, God is Love.
We may not always understand what He is building within us, but someday we'll see His work.
This chapter is sobering; in that the congregation is being challenged in verse 1 as to what is being spoken and judged. This would certainly indite those who were in the leadership in the O.T. system; but certainly could allude to the church today. The reward of the wicked is certainly without mincing of words here; verse 3 through 5 shows the intransigence; again even with those who would be "charmers" as it were; perhaps trying to woo them back to the truth with Godly wisdom. The analogy of breaking their teeth in verse 6 is certainly not isolated to this passage; we see psalms 3:7 and a passage in Job along with others with similar sentiments.
They are said to melt away ;in verse 8; and to be taken away in a whirlwind in verse 9. Again the comment in verse 10 is similar to that of the ashes of the wicked ( Malachi 4:3). Finally; men shall see the justice of God toward the righteous through such judment in the last verse.
We need to consider well the results of Korah's rebellion; and that of others who were among the exiles from Egypt in particular who knew of God's glory firsthand but chose to reject it for foreign gods with some delusion that comforts of this world that they left behind in Egypt would somehow be found. Judgment certainly is greater for those who know the truth; but reject it; better they never knew the truth according to Peter ( 2 Peter 2:21). A change of heart surely must occur to truly be saved; a heart of flesh instead of stone (Ezekeil 36:26).
Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that I have offended someone here.Or I have used a scripture out of context or made some mistakes. Im still very fallible. I have just come back to the Lord with my WHOLE heart about 7 months ago. By His grace! So i ask for mercy and forgiveness. I ask for grace and pardon. And I'm also willing to grant the same.
Hi Grace. Maybe Jeremiah was thinking of the spirit behind those hoardes of people that were set to take David's life. The word for 'people' in Hebrew, allows for 'people, nations, army, creatures', so the singer might be wanting to emphasize the demonic motivation of the many seeking after David's life. Though clearly unfaithful to Scripture wording, he probably saw the spirit behind their quest which needed emphasizing.
I love listening to Jeremiah Yokum sing it! The only thing that bothers me about when Jeremiah sings Psalms three is that he changes the word people to demons and I don't know why. But we are not supposed to change the scripture. And I love Jeremiah he is awfully anointed! So I'm confused about that. Maybe I should ask him. Or maybe there's some thing about the translation of people in Psalms through in the original language that I don't know about because I have not studied that yet.Ester Mui sings scripture also.
My prayers are with you as you work trough your doubts. There is still a measure of faith planted within you by the Holy Spirit, or you would not be asking this question. So, trust that God will renew and grow your faith as you seek Him wit all of your heart. He will draw near to you as you draw near to Him.
I am sorry that you have gone through so much illness and loss. That is a huge, painful, heartbreaking trial! I pray for the Lord to comfort you and continue to bless you with all you need. May your son be blessed by you and be a blessing to you as he grows. May your son come to know Jesus as you work through this faith challenge. God is able to do all of these things. I pray that you can believe this, as well.
Coming Back Home To Your Father - In Reply on Psalms 3 - 2 years ago
Dear Father, I return now to you, the Bible, and your Word. I pray for guidance as I listen for your voice. Let me return to what is most important-you. Help my attitude to change so that instead of focusing on others and events to meet my needs, I can turn to you and find the love, purpose, and direction I seek.
Lord you said in Joel 2:25, 32
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath Eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:"
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[Ask the Lord to renew your faith as you read your Bible]
Your first reading assignment:
Satan tried to destroy Job's faith and trust in God. He took his home, animals, all his kids died in a wicked storm ( Job 1) Jobs health hit rock bottom; his friends accused him:
In the last chapter, God gave him back ten times more than what he lost.
Grow your faith consuming scripture. Keep coming back here for fellowship; till you find a church that teaches Bible.
I once lost my faith in god due to prolonged illness that resulted on me losing a good job and having to sale my home. Before I got well again my wife ( now exwife) bore me my first born. My son is a blessing, that I can better appreciate due to the storm.
Thank you very much for your return comments to me I think you made more sense than anyone else I'm going to follow you instructions your instructions I have read verses that didn't make much sense and I read them again and again like you said and they started to come together nicely but still a long ways to go I've read the Bible but as you said just reading the Bible it really isn't anything but reading and studying is a different subjects you very much for your input on this matter,God bless you. Renee
Hi Renee. The Bible (basic instructions before living earth) is your guide to life. How you should live, and what you should do. At the core of the message is the fact that all men must be saved by accepting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Once we have given our life to the Lord with a pure heart God will make his abode with you. John 14;23.
I would say start out reading and studying the word in prayer. Some make the mistake and read the bible as if its an ordinary book, " It is a collection of 66 books that harmonize as one authored by God himself and revealed to us by the Holyspirit that abides in us when converted. Study with faith and patience and often as you can and the Lord will reward you as he pleases.
KEYS: ( Trust in the Lord.)
Here is a few things worth mentioning:
#1. Its not how many times you have read the bible that opens eyes, It's the empty vessel and pure heart that you take to the Lord.
#2. Starting out stay away from studying viewpoints. Often people let a viewpoints shape their theology rather than letting their theology shape their viewpoints.
#3. Get a hold of a good concordance, and perhaps a King James study bible.
#4. Don't spiritualize all the text, And there is nothing wrong with asking questions, test everything in the light of scripture. FELLOWSHIP IS IMPORTANT!
#5. Don't be discouraged by the false teachers, and learn to mark them. ( Mathew 7:15-20. ) They should have the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-23.
#6. Start afresh. Scrap all the conceptions you have of the bible or that you have heard and let the Holyspirit guild you.
#7. Let your study be the main source of your revelation.
NOTE:
1 John 2:27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Also Read 1 Corinthians 2:10-16.
There is some great teachers on this site that I'm sure will be more than happy to help you as you go on your journey.
Hi Renee , the Bible is a very big book , full of pertinent information . I've been reading it half my life and I'm still learning from it so I guess the key is to be patient and accept that it may take you the rest of your life to feel confident enough to say that you understand it reasonably well . That's all I would say about my understanding , it's reasonable . It's a lifetime commitment and the best one you will ever make . The first few times I read it I started at Genesis and read through to Revelation . Now I read a couple of Old Testament books and then one New . I'm sorry to disappoint you but the chances of you ever understanding everything 100 per cent are quite slim , but you will enjoy it I'm sure . Be patient and determined and it will be clear to you , eventually . The fact that you don't have some one telling you what to think as you read it is , as far as I'm concerned a good thing ! God is not the author of confusion . Read , read , re read and then read again . Come on here any time to ask questions but you may get four very different answers to any question you ask ! Enjoy .
My 'suggestion,' after you are saved, and have 'received The Holy Spirit for understanding,' would be to 'start reading' Romans Through Philemon {God's GRACE Message for Today}, and then 'learn {probably slowly} as you read The Rest Of The Bible!'
Romans 15:4
"For Whatsoever Things Were Written Aforetime Were Written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of The Scriptures might have Hope." Amen?
==================
Please note, that is 'my suggestion' only; others may 'suggest' Different 'ways of learning'...
May God 'Richly' Encourage you, Renee, on your spiritual journey With HIM!
Indeed T. Levis, the great joy & satisfaction that comes when one finds that piece of gold in the Scriptures, which isn't simply to satisfy our hunger for the Word, as when it provides the very answer we need for our lives or to minister to another person.
Thanks so much!!! I didn't know those even existed. Past few years I've found deeper meaning to: Proverbs 2:4 , Matthew 13:44 Please excuse my interruption.
Hello Patty. That's actually a difficult question to answer as there have been many attempts, over the centuries, to translate the Bible into English. Even in the first century, folk such as Bishop of Sherborne, the Venerable Bede, Abbot Aelfric, etc., made attempts to translate portions of the Bible into English. Of course, the English used then would not be legible by us today. Yet, in 1382 AD, John Wycliffe was credited with producing the first English Bible in its entirety. I've never ever seen one to read & handle it, but if you search on the Web, as I did, you can try to read it. I tried but couldn't read most of it.
Then we have William Tyndale, who in 1526 AD produced the complete New Testament in English (printed in England) & one, Miles Coverdale, finished the work in 1535 AD, printed in Antwerp, Belgium. So, it was only from the 16th & 17th Centuries that the English translations became more familiar to our reading & comprehension. And this was seen in the Tyndale Bible, the Great Bible, the Geneva Bible, & of course, our beloved King James Bible (in 1611 AD).
