Psalm 86 (2)
Season 1 Episode 49 Psalm 86（2）
"Show me a sign of your favor."
What are you most afraid of? We often say that "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." However, we often fear the wrong person, the wrong things for all the wrong reasons. We fear those people and things that do not give life. We also fear the disease that can only kill the body, not the soul. Do you know what I am most afraid of? I am afraid, sometimes, that God doesn't show his favor on me. When I was all alone and facing difficult situations, people, things, I was afraid that what if even God is not on my side. What if I suffer alone. I understand the heart of the prayer that may God show me a sign of favor that I may survive this suffering. I needed a sign.
God is merciful and gracious. He is slow to anger and abundant in steadfast love and faithfulness. Yes. I, at the same time, will worry about the assurance of God's favor. David has a pure faith. He prayed that God will show him a sign. Will God show him? Does God have to? He did anyways by saving him through the malicious pursue of his only son. His prayer was urgent. Lord, please deliver me from the Sheol. This Psalm is inspired for all of God's people to pray when we face difficult situations, people, and things and we are afraid of tomorrow, we can pray just like this. Just like God wanted us.
We know the assurance of God's favor for us. Don't we? Jesus was born and suffered unto death for us. The third day he resurrected from death. God loved us so and gave us his only son for us. Luke 11:29-30, Jesus himself said: “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation."
The son of man is the greatest sign of God's favor on us. Jesus Christ is precisely our most extraordinary sign of favor. God has promised all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Will be saved through judgment of eternal death. Will be saved from today's evil age. If ever, we do not have immediate favor shown to us, it is because God reserved the right to make a bigger plan without our consent. He has all the right to do so for our good, does he?
Thank you for subscribing and listening. My friend. God is with us until the end of the earth. Rest assured of his favor upon us.
