“The Rejoicing Heart”

 “The Rejoicing Heart”

 

But I have trusted in Your Faithful Love; my heart will rejoice in Your Deliverance.    Psalm 13:5

 

This Psalm was penned by King David, it is a PLEA for DELIVERANCE.  The first four verses are a PLEA and a LAMENT for DELIVERANCE from his enemies.  He was in DESPERATE NEED.  He had ANXIOUS CONCERNS and AGONY, which was TORTURING him DAILY.  His enemies were DOMINATING him, and he was MISERABLE.  He implored upon God to bring him ENLIGHTENMENT, and to DELIVER him from both a SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL DEATH. Lest his enemies TRIUMPHED over him.  

 

But, (this word “but” is a TRANSITIONAL word that takes us from FEAR to FAITH) David made a STATEMENT of  his CONFIDENCE or TRUST in the ALMIGHTY, FAITHFUL, and LOVING GOD, whom he TRUSTED for his DELIVERANCE .  

 

And as a SINNER, who is being TORMENTED and in DESPERATE NEED of a SAVIOR,  the ALMIGHTY GOD can be YOUR DELIVERER from your ENEMIES, the SINS that PLAGUE and TORMENT your wretched, doomed soul.  He is the ONLY ONE, who CAN and WILL DELIVER you from your SINS and from an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.

 

In order to be DELIVERED, and to have a TRUE REJOICING HEART, you must do some things to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD.  This can ONLY be done through God’s Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED for your and my SINS.  God brought JESUS back from DEATH and the GRAVE, to be able to SAVE US from SPIRITUAL DEATH and an ETERNITY in HELL.  It is up to us to make the RIGHT CHOICE.  So, NOW, if you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God, you have that opportunity to do so.  You MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He IS ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and TRUST in God’s FAITHFUL LOVE with a REJOICING HEART.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
