“My
heart, O God, is steadfast.” Psalms 108:1a NIV
As
we become believers, we learn a little about God, and then we learn a little
bit more. We don’t get all the information all at once. The Holy Spirit
spoon-feeds us small portions, letting us absorb only what we are capable taking
in at the time.
But
as we become more mature believers, it’s good to create a summary – to list
everything we’ve learned about God up to this point. That’s what David did in Psalm
108, which is two Psalms combined. Verses 1-5 come from Psalm 57, and the last
8 verses come from Psalm 60.
“God,
I have decided to always belong to you.” David restates what we have known for
quite some time, that David is a man after God’s own heart. It’s a good
decision; David is glad he made the decision to go with God; if he had to do it
over, David would make the same decision again, because things have worked out
well as the result of this decision.
David
is in a unique position, being not only king, but worship leader for a nation. “I
will sing and make music with all my soul. I will make music with the harp and
lyre. I will awaken the dawn.” As far as worshiping God is concerned, David is
in 100%. Not just casually singing a few songs, David promises to make music
with his SOUL! He wants to get an early start on this – David intends to awaken
the dawn with songs praising God! “I will sing your praises everywhere.”
That’s
David’s worship goal; what’s yours?
