AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
Psalms 31:1
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.
Psalms 31:2
Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.
Psalms 31:3
For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.
Psalms 31:4
Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.
Psalms 31:5
Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Psalms 31:6
I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the LORD.
Psalms 31:7
I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
Psalms 31:8
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
Psalms 31:9
Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!
Psalms 31:10
For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.
Psalms 31:11
I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.
Psalms 31:12
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
Psalms 31:13
For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.
Psalms 31:14
But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
Psalms 31:15
My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
Psalms 31:16
Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
Psalms 31:17
Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.
Psalms 31:18
Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Psalms 31:19
Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!
Psalms 31:20
You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues.
Psalms 31:21
Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!
Psalms 31:22
For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You.
Psalms 31:23
Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.
Psalms 31:24
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
(NKJV)
“Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.” - Psalm 31:5
These words have been frequently used by holy men in their hour of departure. We may profitably consider them this evening. The object of the faithful man’s solicitude in life and death is not his body or his estate, but his spirit; this is his choice treasure-if this be safe, all is well. What is this mortal state compared with the soul? The believer commits his soul to the hand of his God; it came from him, it is his own, he has aforetime sustained it, he is able to keep it, and it is most fit that he should receive it. All things are safe in Jehovah’s hands; what we entrust to the Lord will be secure, both now and in that day of days towards which we are hastening. It is peaceful living, and glorious dying, to repose in the care of heaven. At all times we should commit our all to Jesus’ faithful hand; then, though life may hang on a thread, and adversities may multiply as the sands of the sea, our soul shall dwell at ease, and delight itself in quiet resting places.
“Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.” Redemption is a solid basis for confidence. David had not known Calvary as we have done, but temporal redemption cheered him; and shall not eternal redemption yet more sweetly console us? Past deliverances are strong pleas for present assistance. What the Lord has done he will do again, for he changes not. He is faithful to his promises, and gracious to his saints; he will not turn away from his people.
“Though thou slay me I will trust, Praise thee even from the dust, Prove, and tell it as I prove, Thine unutterable love.
Thou mayst chasten and correct, But thou never canst neglect; Since the ransom price is paid, On thy love my hope is stay’d.”

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is charity.”
1 St. John 4:8
Father, You are indeed the source of all love. As we strive through our daily lives, all too often we would forget about Your love and indulge in hate and spite. Help us guide our way out of this quagmire so that we can better express Your love.
We pray in Jesus’s name,
Amen.
