Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.

Blessed if the man that is forgiven in every way. Being forgiven feels really good, especiallywhen it's every single sin you ever did and ever will do. I don't have to carry the wieght of who I've been, I'm forgiven.

Psalm 36

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD.

The servant of the LORD? Wow that's a pretty high up title. Cuz so far up to now, there's only been 2 guys with that high of a title. Moses, and Joshua. That must be a big honor.

"To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy"

Something I've noticed about David: He always needs help from God. Always depends on God to save him every single time he gets into a mess. He does'nt say,  ' Thanks for saving me, I can take it from here.'  He had learned to be dependent on God when he was still caring for sheep and killing lions and bears with his hands. And I think we need to follow his lead and depend fully on God.

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

So Davids really just got two things to ask the Lord: To save him from his enemies, and mostly, To dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,

for they are from of old.

 

 

What does he mean by that?  That He's been doing merciful and loving things for so long he would forget?

      1. Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;  guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

That is just an amazing verse. It's a very, very  good prayer to pray.


    2.    My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.


Davids belief in God is just extreme. He trusts God to provide all he needs to live, and God always gives  it to him. I think one of the reasons he had such a  good relationship with God was that he trusted God.

Psalm 23

 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.


This psalm is a reminder of how great our God really is. He's like no other god. He's supreme, almighty powerful, aand awesome.
