19th
Isaiah 40
2 Corinthians 12
Psalm 61
vs 2
The ends of the earth. It is more his spiritual and emotional state, than a physical location.
Nothing made sense anymore.
Therefore he cried out to God. A distress call.
Self-help, self sufficient
It is only in God Almighty that we deliver what we hope for.
God should be the first thought.
The God to whom David prayed,
vs 4, selah, vs 5
A pause
A moment of contemplation.
God of Refuge
Three metaphors to describe God.
God the Rock
- Something with great strength, protection
- Something that is greater than us.
God the refuge
vs 3
- Where it is safe to go.
vs 4
Shelter under the wings of God.
Confidence to live in the shadow of the Almighty.
vs 6, 7
Third person.
Prophetic - many generations.
He is either praying for himself, or Jesus
David brings his situation to God but doesn't ask for it to be remedied.
David allows his situation to push him towards God.
Psalm 62
