PSALM 138:2

Promise Received

I WILL BOW DOWN TOWARD YOUR HOLY TEMPLE

AND GIVE THANKS TO YOUR NAME,

FOR YOUR LOVING KINDNESS AND YOUR TRUTH;

FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD

ACCORDING TO ALL YOUR NAME.

DAVID EXPRESSES HIS GRATITUDE TOWARDS JEHOVAH,

ACKNOWLEDGING THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN LEFT WITHOUT DIRECTION.

IN MODERN LANGUAGE, HIS WORDS CAN BE UNDERSTOOD AS SUCH:

"I WILL BOW DOWN TO YOUR HOLY TEMPLE

AND PRAISE YOUR NAME, FOR YOU HAVE SHOWN ME MERCY AND TRUTH

BY FULFILLING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE PROMISED ME."

AS BELIEVERS WITH THE INDWELLING VICTORIOUS SPIRIT OVER

SIN AND DEATH, WE ARE MUCH MORE THAN MERE MORTALS.

WE ARE GOD'S TEMPLE, AND HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH SAVES!

GOD VALUED MY SOUL EVEN BEFORE I VALUED MYSELF,

AND I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM.

THE TRUTH DEFINED IN SCRIPTURE IS THE SPIRIT HIMSELF,

SPEAKING THROUGH HIS PERFECT TEMPLE, JESUS THE CHRIST.

GOD NOT ONLY PROMISES BUT ALSO FULFILLS HIS PROMISES.

THERE ARE UNIVERSAL (BIBLICAL) PROMISES THAT APPLY TO THE CHURCH AND

EVERY MEMBER

AND THOSE UNIQUE PROMISES THAT HE DECLARES TO EACH INDIVIDUAL.
