KINGDOM PSALMS VOLUME III DAY TWENTY FIVE: Scripture Reading: Psalm 94 Focus Verse: Psalm 94:18 Our Most Sure Foundation When the writer of Psalm 94 felt that his foot was slipping, he acknowledged that it was God’s “mercy” (KJV) or “love” (NIV) that “held him up” (KJV) or “supported” (NIV) him. The kind of love that the psalmist speaks of here is the kind of love that represents a “befriending.” God’s loving Israel in that way was a fulfillment of the promises, or covenant, made with them in Deuteronomy 7:9 & 12. He continued that covenant with the same promises to David and his descendants in 2 Samuel 7:15. Thus, the surety is found in the promises of God and His Word. When we feel as if we have lost our grip – our spiritual footing – then we can find solid footing on the sure foundation of God’s Word. When we get a “grip” on God’s promises, we will soon find our “thoughts” (KJV) or “anxiety” (NIV) turned to “comforts” (KJV) or “consolation” (NIV). And where there is God’s comfort and consolation, there is “delight” KJV) or “joy” (NIV) in our souls (verse 19). Prayer Emphasis •Believe that God is a “very present” (KJV) or “ever-present” (NIV) help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1) and that He never abandons us to fiend for ourselves or to find our own way through life. Ask God to both guide and guard your steps as you seek to follow Him today.
