THE DOUBLE ASPECT OF BILEIVERS' LIFE
Psalm 61: 2-9We are both sheep of God and shepherds who care for the weak sheep. Like this, the believers' life has a double aspect. This psalm tells us much about that the believers' life is to take refuge in the bosom of God on the one hand and desire to serve God on the other. Both passive aspect, and positive one. If we are believers it is very important to be properly educated in these two aspects.
1) David who takes refuge in God (2-5)
In this psalm, King David was in anxiety, sadness, distress and fear. At this crossroads of feelings he begs for help, the help of God. The rock means there is a place where he can hide when the enemy passes. The tower means the place from where one can see the enemies, place where the enemy can ever be destroyed. The refuge is where one can have fellowship with God. What is your refuge? What is your rock?
2) David vowed to serve God
David was not sitten down in worry, he testified that he fulfills his wish to serve God. Receive grace and give his heart to something else makes really miserable. After receiving the grace of God have you had the opportunity to make a vow to serve God?
Prayer: Lord, I eagerly want you to become my refuge, give me the ardent wish to serve you after receiving grace
One Word: when my heart is discouraged
