I'm about to burst with song; I can't keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can't thank you enough (Message). Psalm 30:12 Fail not to tell of the Lord’s faithfulness and His great goodness—for God loses much glory and poor sinners and saints, too, lose much encouragement when children of God are silent about their experience at the Throne of Grace. Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92


Psalm of David. In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness. Psalm 31:1 Impatience entangles the process and pride endangers the outcome.


Turn Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Psalm 31:2 God is our defense and he will take up our cause, even if it is not as soon as we would hope. Experience the blessing of stepping back and watching God. “The Voice of the Lord” Lewis and Harriet Lederer Foundation, Inc. Messianic Jewish Publishers

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Psalm 31:3 All true prayer will keep itself within God’s revelation of who He is. If we keep this in mind a great many foolish and presumptuous wishes will be stifled in the birth and a great many feeble desires will be strengthened and made confident to expect great things of God. Alexander Maclaren, 1826-1910, British Baptist expository preacher

You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Psalm 31:4 When we lose our focus on the Lord we lose heart. And when we lose heart we can be defeated by our fears before ever confronting the real threats. Jere Phillips, Lifeway, Explore The Bible, Spring 2009
