God Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me!

Psalm 138; Hebrews 13:5, 4:16; Romans 8:28,  8:31

We are walking in today:  God Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me!

Psalm 138 1) I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2) I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3) In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 4) All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 5) Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord. 6) Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7) Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8) The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.  Have you ever felt like you were in the midst of trouble?  David understood this experience very well, he had been anointed by the prophet Samuel while he was still a young adolescent--tending to his father's sheep.  Samuel prophesied that he would become the king of Israel.  Not long after that event, David began to serve as armorbearer to King Saul. David was immensely successful slaying the giant Goliath, when no other solider in Israel was willing to face him in hand to hand combat.  Then he lead a troop of 1,000 soldiers into battle without losing a single one.  This caused king Saul to become insanely jealous of the victorious young warrior that David had become.  Saul decided to kill David to eliminate any chance that David might take his throne.  He begin to pursue David in the wilderness, seeking to take his life.  It was while hiding from Saul and his army that David wrote this Psalm.  He begins by saying, "I will praise You with my whole heart".  Though he was in his darkest hour, he made a choice to praise God, in the middle of his circumstances. David had discovered a spiritual secret, he knew if he was going to have victory over his situation, he would not focus on how desperate and hopeless the problem appears to be.  He had to choose to look to God, who is bigger than any circumstances and praise Him!  We face this same choice every time we are in the mist of trouble.  By following David's example we can experience victory by understanding the power of this spiritual secret.  Another spiritual secret that David understood is revealed in verse 3, In the day when I cried thou answeredst me--David was purposefully remembering past occasions when God had delivered him from trouble.  By doing this he was building his faith.  He will remember that God had rescued him before and this renewed his confidence that God would do it again!  It is vital that you would intentionally recall past interactions of God in your life.  It will build up your faith.  And it will help you to stay focused on God's power and the love for God rather than the magnitude of the difficulty you are facing.  David did this repeatedly throughout his life and it is reflected in the Scriptures.  The second part of verse 3 is, strengthenedst me with strength in my soul, tells us that David believed God would make him bold with strength in his soul!  The soul refers to the mind, will and the emotions of a man.  When you are in a desperate situation--your soul comes under severe pressure.  Your emotions are pressed to react in fear, anxiety, hopelessness or desperation.  David remembered, in past times of trouble, God not only answered him when he called but He strengthened his mind, will and emotions!!  So that he could handle the pressure of that moment.  This is a promise that you need to claim for yourself, fiveamprayer!  You don't have to fall apart while in the midst of trouble.  Another, observation that can be made from this psalm is that David was able to acknowledge his current circumstances without being devastated by them.  In verse 7, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.  David acknowledges that he was facing difficult circumstances but it did not destroy his faith.  Some people feel the need to deny that they have any difficulties, and feel that by doing so they are not expressing faith.  But true Bible faith doesn't deny problems--faith is able to look at the problem and boldly proclaim that God is more than enough to overcome it!  That is what we see in David's case!  He confidently proclaims that God will move on his behalf and that God's power will deliver him!  No matter how the situation looks--He will perfect that which concerns you and me!  God wants to do the thing for you!  But He requires that you believe His word and take hold of if by faith!  If you are in the midst of trouble and need God's intervention then take Psalm 138 as your spiritual road map.  Make the same profession of faith that David did until you see it come to pass, God will perfect that which concerns us!  Amen!  Glory to His name!This ought to give us boldness, strength, new mindset, and faith to walk it out.  He knows the number of hairs on our head and He perfects that which concerns us!  Late in the midnight hour He turns things around in our favor!  We can cast our cares on Him for He cares for us!  Fiveamprayer, let us lay aside every weigh that would so easily beset us!  Let us be like David, standing and believing God to rescue, deliver, set free, make a way and to do it again!  He is concerned about you.  We serve a God who does not sleep nor slumber.  He will perfect that which concerns us!  When the enemy comes in like a flood, He lifts up a standard against him!  We can stand on His word, no weapon formed against us shall prosper!  Tell the enemy to get behind you--God has said touch not My anointed!  Be still, the battle is the Lord's not yours!  Trust Him and hold on!  We are not to faint we are to remain in prayer constantly.  Our God sits high and looks low, He perfects that which concerns us!  He heard us calling and reminding Him of His word.  We know that He is our help in a time of trouble.  Even in the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil for He is with us!  God. Will. Deliver. Every. Time!  Amen!  Thank You God!  Tell yourself, I serve the Alpha and Omega!  He will perfect that which concerns me!  We have got to know right now that our all knowing God is the one who is ordering our steps!  David is our witness this morning, while hiding in the caves from Saul, he reminded himself that his God delivers!  He was looking to the hill from which comes his help, his help comes from the Lord!  Amen!  What cave are you hiding in?  He came that we would have life and that more abundantly!  Tell yourself this morning He can and will deliver!  He perfects that which concerns us!  Cast on Him all of your cares!  Fiveamprayer, what is your concern this morning?  Cast it on Him for He cares for you!  He is watchful over you!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  He is our Provider, the great I AM!  He even made us in His own image!  Thank You God!  The work that He has began in us, He shall continue until the day of Jesus Christ!   Thank You Lord for letting us know that we are not a unfinished project to be abandoned later!  Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  Fiveamprayer, He will perfect that which concerns us!  Tell God your concerns!  Some one on the line this morning is tired of the going through!  I did all that You said, God and it didn't turn out as I expected!  I held on to Your word and I am still here in this place.  God's response is obedience is better than sacrifice!  He was teaching you obedience.  He was teaching you to hear Him even in the midst of the storm.  So with the winds howling and the raining pelting down you can hear Him say peace be still.  He had made us stronger and wiser in the midst of the storm.  In the dark cave He teaches us to hold on to Him!  We are chosen in the furnace of affliction!  We are not refined with silver and gold.  In the midst of trouble, He is making you over!  He is teaching you to stand.  He perfects that which concerns us!   Fiveamprayer, we shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!  He will perfect that which concerns us.  Tell the devil, you know what God has set up for me, but you can't stop me!  Thank You God for perfecting that which concerns me!  Amen!  What ever it is put it on the alter, your marriage and your children--it is time to stop running!  Be still and know that He is God!  Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  Tell God thank You for working all things together for our good!  It is all working out for each of us, for we love the Lord!  Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  Don't you love Him?!  All things work together for the good of them that love the Lord, and are called according to His purpose!  Many are called but few are chosen.  What a mighty assignment!!  Sometimes we ask why do we gotta go through?  It is not for you, it is for someone else!  We have to develop tough skin or have that person walkout of our lives.  Look to God, He perfects that which concerns us!  He is making us better, wiser and stronger!  God is giving us a better understanding of who He is!  What you have gone through is for His glory.  That you can share how He kept you with someone else who is walking in the same thing.  Your story will encourage them that they can see you on the other side, brought out by God's hand!  Now that you have been through, you can say that God provides, that He perfects that which concerns us!  He will rescue and bring you out!  He will do it!  He will fix it and turn it all around!  Hold on and watch God turn the tables in your favor!  He is restoring you!  He will heal us and set us free!  He will show up!  He is a on time God!  Even in the midst of the storm!  David said, ...thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.  Look to the Lord, He perfects that which concerns us!  Hold on to His grace and His mercy!  He will!  Whatever you need, He will!  He is working all things together for our good!  Even the things that I can not see!  We have got to get this one!  That there are things that we can not see, that God is working it out.  So we know that we are not to trust what we see in the natural, walk by faith not sight!  It is already done.  It is already finished!  We find all of our sufficiency in Him!  In all things and at all times, look to Him, there is no sufficiency found in us!  God is working all things for us!  Amen!  Hallelujah!  Thank You God!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  You know that concerns me!  You known us from before we were shaped in our mother's womb!  No doubt You can and will perfect that which concerns us!  We have to see God for who He is and not for what He can do.  Thank You God that trouble don't last always!  We lift up fiveamprayer, this morning, there is one of us in trouble.  We are standing on one accord, touching and agreeing and You said if two were to touch and agree, it shall be done!  We are walking in healing, set free, and deliverance!  We are walking in a new mindset!  Walk in this word, and stand on it!  We lift up prayer requests, we all touch and agree that it is done!  There is power in agreement!  We declare and decree that it is done!  We cover and seal this petition in the mighty blood of Jesus!  Thank You Lord, it is done, it is finished!  We come to repent, some of us are screaming why have You forsaken me?!  It can be so bad in the midst of the storm and we find within us to say, nevertheless, not my will Thy will be done!  Have Your way Father!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   Thank You God for perfecting that which concerns me!
