Worshiping GOD Almighty Above the Temporary Things of the World

 Worshiping GOD Almighty Above the Temporary Things of the World

Positive Christianity Series Episode #239

David described in the Psalms the manner that GOD Almighty listens to our prayers and allows us to persevere because we trust in GOD Almighty. David trusted in GOD Almighty even when there were times of difficulty due to the envy of the snake.

For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me.”- Psalm 31: 3

David acknowledges that GOD Almighty is his refuge and fortress regardless of times, obstacles, or persecution. David knows that his self-worth is in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that we are born with intrinsic value and have eternal significance and purpose in the worship of GOD Almighty.

We learn that we can not make extrinsic things our everything because they are temporary, vain, and not eternal. GOD Almighty helps us persevere in the path of eternal salvation so that we do not doubt GOD Almighty and instead doubt the temporary lies, deceit, and envy.

You take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.”- Psalm 31: 4

Even when David is sent to fight the Philistines at the request of Saul with the intention of having David destroyed, David perseveres and instead prospers destroying the Philistines. Saul tries to marry David with his daughter in order to control and dominate David, yet David trusted in GOD Almighty and had healthy skepticism concerning Saul. David trusted in GOD Almighty and not in Saul’s daughter. Saul also slanders David saying that it was David who was persecuting Saul instead of speaking truth that it was Saul who was persecuting David. Even when David is persecuted, hated, and slandered, David is able to persevere trusting in GOD Almighty’s eternal and infinite dominion, power, authority, and sovereignty. David acknowledges that GOD Almighty is salvation and deliverance from persecution, envy, and opposition. David is able to persevere despite Saul’s attempt to ensnare David. We learn that GOD Almighty delivers David from the difficulties.

Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.”- Psalm 33: 23

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”- Psalm 34: 19
