Psalm
31 A Prayer of Deliverance
Sin
required a penalty; and, if the sinner did not pay it, someone else would have
to pay it. God has a plan, and He can save sinners because Someone else has
paid the penalty for sin. That Person is His Son, Jesus Christ.
The
Savior, Jesus Christ is the strong Rock upon which we can rest.
“Into
thine hand I commit my Spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of Truth.” V.
5 On the cross Jesus cried, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and
having said this, he gave up His Ghost.” Luke 23:46. Stephen, when he was
stoned, he called upon God, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Acts 7:59.
Many martyrs throughout the ages have used the same expression.
There
is great comfort in knowing God sees us in our trouble. We need to look at
David as an example when he didn’t take his troubles to others but cried out to
the Lord, “I am in trouble!”
Our
times are in Christ’s hands, and those are crucified hands. Our sins are in His
hands, and they are the tender hands of a shepherd. Some day He will come with
a blessing, and those hands will bless. We should rejoice that we are in His
hands.
The
Lord Jesus came down here to show us the Father. He is the face of God. Through
Him we know God.
“O
give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for his mercy endures forever. Let
the redeemed of the Lord say so whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the
enemy.” Psalm 107:1-2
