TO THE FAITHFUL HE SHOWS HIMSELF FAITHFUL

“With the faithful You show Yourself faithful;
With the blameless You prove Yourself blameless;
With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute (shrewd).
For You save an afflicted people,
But You humiliate haughty eyes.
For You light my lamp;
The LORD my God illumines my darkness.
For by You I can run at a troop of warriors;
And by my God I can leap over a wall.”
Psalm 18:25-29)

Three things I hope for us from this text:

-To light our lamp and illumine our darkness v.28
-To have strength to crush an evil army v.29
-To leap over walls (by the Lord’s supernatural power) v.29

I want to leap over walls and walk through them as well.

“With the faithful You show Yourself faithful.”

“That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” Jesus
