Gilbert House Fellowship #387: Psalms 5, 38, 41–42

DAVID WAS not perfect, but he recognized his failures. More importantly, he acknowledged that God was the source of his salvation—his yeshua.

This week, we study four psalms dated to the last part of David’s life. This followed the rebellion and death of his son, Absalom, his near-death at the hands of one of the Philistine “sons of the Rapha,” and his decision to eliminate the male heirs of the House of Saul (except for Mephibosheth) to repay the blood-guilt due the people of Gideon.

We take a long look at Psalm 42, which is well known for its beautiful, poetic language:

Deep calls to deep

at the roar of your waterfalls;

all your breakers and your waves

have gone over me. (Psalm 42:7, ESV)

That verse is more supernatural than is obvious on the surface. In context, it’s a cry from behind enemy lines—the Upper Galilee, near Mount Hermon, or the area that we believe was the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death.

If you can send a get-well card to young Finn Walden, who suffered a serious fall out of a tree a few days ago, the address is:

Finn Walden

If you are able to help Jamie and Virginia Walden defray Finn’s medical expenses, you can do that here: www.calicobuffalobasecamp.com/support.

Our Build Barn Better project is making progress! Our 1,200 square pole barn has a new floor, windows, upgraded electric service, and insulation. Ceiling fans went up this week, and HVAC will be installed this coming week. After that, we’ll move our studios, book/DVD warehouse, and shipping office out of our home. If you are so led, you can help out at GilbertHouse.org/donate.
