PSALM CHAPTER 31<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

MAINTAINING HAPPINESS: <\/em><\/span>
\nWhat I should do.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

<\/h3>\n

DAVID\u2019S BATTLE . . . JUST LIKE OUR OWN !!<\/span>
\n WHY REMIND BELIEVERS<\/span> TO LOVE GOD ?<\/span> <\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. I PUT MY TRUST IN GOD.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 SO, HELP ME !<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0 V.1, 14. <\/span>
\nCAN BELIEVERS HAVE TROUBLES ? WE MUST TRUST GOD
\nFOR DELIVERANCE ! PS. 97:10, PS. 34:17, PS. 34:7.
\nWHEN WE DON\u2019T KNOW ANSWERS. ROM. 8:26<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0 V. 5. \u00a0\u00a0 IS THIS ENOUGH ? NO ! <\/em><\/span>
\nGOD WANTS TOTAL COMMITMENT. I THES. 5:23.
\nTHE FAILURE PARTIAL COMMITMENT: PARTIAL KNOWLEDGE
\n\u2014HATED PEOPLE, NOT WHAT THEY DO. THIS DEFILES
\nTHE INTENT OF THE COMMITTED SOUL THAT SHOULD
\nHATE THE ACTIONS, BUT LOVE THE PEOPLE. GOD\u2019S
\nACTIONS: JOHN 3:16. LUKE 6:31-35.<\/p>\n

3. I TRUST IN THE LORD:<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0 WHAT ARE THE RESULTS ? <\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 V. 6. <\/span>
\nCAN THIS TRUST BE PARTIAL ? INCOMPLETE ?
\nYES. WHEN WE HOLD ONTO ANY PART OF OUR WILL.
\nMATT. 8:19,20, JOHN 13:37.
\nSELF-WILL HINDERS GODLY ACTIONS. JAMES 2:14.
\nRESULTS CAN BE PAINFUL. ACTS 19:16.<\/p>\n

4. I WILL REJOICE.<\/span> ; \u00a0\u00a0 V. 7. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/span> KNOWING THE TRUTH HELPS ME DO<\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 THIS. BUT, IS IT ENOUGH TO WIN THE BATTLE ?<\/span> <\/em>
\n\u2014MUST BE DOING WHAT THE WORD SAYS. JAMES 1:23.
\n\u2014IT TAKES BIBLICAL FAITH. I JOHN 5:4.<\/p>\n

5. I AM IN TROUBLE. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 V. 9 <\/span>
\n *NOTE THAT DAVID CALLS ON GOD\u2019S MERCY (NOT GRACE),
\nTHUS INDICATING THE TROUBLE WAS HIS FAULT.<\/em>
\nA. GOD PROVIDES PROVISION FOR RESTORATION WHEN WE
\nSIN AND REPENT.
\nB. REPENTANCE IS A COMMAND, NOT AN OPTION. ACTS 3:19
\nADAM & EVE. GENESIS 3:21.
\nDAVID. PSALM 51:9-13.
\nJOHN THE BAPTIST. LUKE 3:7.
\nOFFER TO SIMON. ACTS 8:22.<\/p>\n

6. I HEAR WHAT OTHERS SAY.<\/span> <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 V. 13.
\nUSE IT TO BRING YOU TO GREATER FAITH IN THE LORD.
\n\u2014SEEING THAT THE BIBLE PROPHESIED THIS.
\nMATT. 5:11, LUKE 6:26, I THES. 5:3, **2 PET. 2:8.
\n\u2014SEEING THAT I COULD COME TO THE WRONG
\nCONCLUSIONS, TOO, IF I FAIL TO SEEK GOD\u2019S WISDOM.
\n\u2014USE IT AS A CHALLENGE TO LET OTHERS HEAR WHAT YOU
\nSHOULD BE SAYING. PS. 107:2, MATT. 10:27. MATT. 10:32.<\/p>\n

7. I HAVE CALLED ON THE LORD.<\/span> <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 V. 17. \u00a0\u00a0 KEY: HEB. 11:6, JAS 1:6
\n \u2014IT SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE ! <\/span> JOHN 10:27.
\nJUST BECAUSE GOD HEARS US, DOES IT MEAN HE WILL
\nDO WHAT WE WANT ? JOHN 9:31, I JOHN 5:14.
\n IF IT DOESN\u2019T SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, EVALUATE<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 AM I GETTING THROUGH ?<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0 HAVE I GROWN IN LEARNING
\nHOW TO PRAY ? \u00a0\u00a0 AM I STILL PRAYING IMMATURELY ?
\n\u2014 AM I SEEING THE WHOLE PICTURE ?<\/span> DO I TAKE MAN\u2019S
\nFREE-WILL TO REJECT GOD\u2019S WILL INTO ACCOUNT ?
\n\u2014 ARE THERE ANSWERS I AM NOT SEEING ?<\/span> DO I REALLY
\nEXPECT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOD DOES ?
\nI SAM. 16:7, DAN. 12:4.<\/p>\n

8. I HAVE SAID THINGS IN HASTE THAT WERE WRONG. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 V. 22.
\n *BUT THE LORD HEARD HIM. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?
\nIF A PERSON SINS, HOW CAN THEY BE HEARD ? JOHN 9:31.<\/em><\/p>\n

TYPES OF HEARING WITH WHICH WE CANNOT BE SATISFIED: <\/span><\/em>
\n(\u201cWELL, GOD KNOWS MY HEART\u2026\u201d \u201cGOD KNOWS EVERYTHING\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cHE KNOWS BEFORE WE ASK HIM, SO NO NEED TO HURRY\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cHE\u2019LL HEAR ME NO MATTER WHAT I DO\u2026\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u2014HEARING THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE RECEIVING WHAT YOU
\nSAY. JOHN 8:6-8.
\n\u2014HEARING THAT ONLY INVOLVES KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT
\nWAS HEARD, NOT A RESPONSE. I JOHN 3:20.<\/p>\n

A. I HAVE SAID THINGS TO THE LORD IN HASTE.
\n\u2014REACTING INSTEAD OF THINKING. MARK 9:6.
\n\u2014GOING BY IMMEDIATE FEELINGS RATHER THAN TRUE
\nCOMMITMENT. MATTHEW 8:19.
\nB. I HAVE COMMUNICATED TO OTHERS IN HASTE. PROV. 25:8
\nC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MYSELF IN HASTE.
\n\u2014CAN MAKE MYSELF DISCOURAGED. PS. 116:11
\n\u2014CAN CONVINCE MYSELF IN FAITH NOT OF GOD.
\nLUKE 12:18<\/p>\n

9. DAVID\u2019S CONCLUSION.<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0 V. 23.
\nA. CAME FROM HIS PLEA FOR HELP.
\nWHY SHOULD GOD HELP US ? <\/em>
\n\u2014BECAUSE WE OBEY HIS WORD. PS. 119:173.
\n\u2014BECAUSE HE IS OUR FATHER. PSALM 38:22
\n\u2014BECAUSE HE IS MERCIFUL. PS. 109:26, HEB. 4:16.
\nB. CAME FROM HIS PAST EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD.
\n\u2014PS. 116:6, PS. 118:13, GEN. 30:27 (LABAN).
\n\u2014EXPERIENCES HELP US TO DEVELOP SPIRITUALLY IF WE
\nWILL LEARN FROM THEM. ROMANS 5:3-5.<\/p>\n


\n10. ALL GOD\u2019S PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE THE LORD. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 V. 23.
\n***NOT SO OBVIOUS AS IT MIGHT SEEM.***
\nA. BECAUSE IT IS COMMANDED. DEUT. 6:5 (MARK 12:30).
\nB. BECAUSE GRATITUDE SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING NATURALLY.
\n\u2014FOR THE IMMEDIATE CIRCUMSTANCE.
\n\u2014FOR PREVIOUS SITUATIONS.
\n\u2014FOR THE VERY FUNDAMENTAL REASON: OUR SALVATION.
\nC. BECAUSE MANY MISUNDERSTAND WHAT BIBLICAL LOVE IS.
\n\u2014GOD PROVIDES WAYS TO TEST IT. DEUT. 13:3, I JOHN 4:20.
\n\u2014GOD PROVIDES WAYS FOR US TO SEE IT. I JOHN 3:13-18,
\nI JOHN 5:3, JOHN 14:15. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
