Psalm 39:4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.” God intended for us to live and never die. He is still making that happen but He has declared the consequences of our sin is death. However, He has also declared everlasting life for those who are faithful to Him. Christmas is that celebration where our Savior comes so we have that life everlasting. This life is so very short. Enjoy it, but use it to prepare for the wonderful life to come.

Psalm 38:21-22 “Lord, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.” David knew where to go when he knew he could not help himself. When he was depressed or anxious or simply down he could not turn to anything or anyone else—-he needed his Savior. His ever present God would never leave him and would always give him strength. Why would God have David write these words in His Book? The answer is only too obvious as we apply these words to ourselves.

Psalm 37:39 “The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.” There is one source of our salvation and that source is certainly not our own making. Our Father demands perfection and no one either reading or writing these words comes close to perfection. We all desperately need a Savior. Fortunately, neither you nor I are desperate—-we have our Savior. We can breathe a giant sigh of relief. We soon celebrate–our Savior is born!

Psalm 37:28 “For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.” Live with integrity. Every Christian lives and breaths integrity. A Christian cannot act one way in a bar and another way in a church. A constant relationship with one’s Heavenly Father is enjoyed by you and me and is blessed by our God. And to be loved by God—nothing could be better! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 37:25 “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” David had experienced life when he wrote this verse. He was elderly. He had experienced sadness, rebellion, happiness, dear friendship, a very close relationship with his Savior and knew he would affect future generations like you and me as he wrote. Never–that’s a key word–Never will God abandon His children. Never will He stop blessing His children. You and I could never conceive of a more loving and faithful God. Enjoy and praise!
