Psalm 143:2 “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.” Do you ever look into the mirror and say to yourself—boy, do I look good? How about-do you ever look into a mirror and say—boy, do I need a Savior. Maybe both are true; however the second statement is definitely true. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 143:1 “O Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.” David, our Psalmist, knew he NEEDED God in his life. He was absolutely positive God was at his side, God would listen to his prayer and He would give him peace and comfort. David loved God and he knew God loved him. You and I can substitute our name in place of David’s name and the same truths will apply. We cannot thank God enough!

Psalm 142:3 “When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me.” Without God by our side supporting each of us we will be overwhelmed by the thinking of a world which places God as either nonexistent or equal to man or even beneath man. We must never be fooled by man’s thinking which can easily seem both the majority and correct. All wise thought always places our Mighty Creator as the essence of Truth. We pray His absolute truth continually is our focus regardless of man’s seemingly dominant yet inappropriate and erroneous thinking.

Psalm 141:8 “But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.” David knew he, like every other human needed God’s constant help. He knew his life would be content, peaceful and secure if he focused on the wisdom of his Heavenly Father. He also knew that left to himself failure would be the result and failure could be devastating. Therefore, David prayed. Therefore, you and I also pray this same prayer.

Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” The responsibility of a guard is to provide safety and security. Parts of our own bodies can generate danger and become our own enemy. Not only can our mouths hurt ourselves, our words can hurt others even to such a degree that a person can be hurt for life. Spouses, parents, friends or someone unfamiliar can be hurt or can cause hurt and that hurt might very slowly heal or never heal. Let us be very careful with the words we speak.
