Psa 69:1-2, …SAVE ME, O GOD! FOR THE WATERS HAVE COME UP TO MY NECK. I sink in deep mire, WHERE THERE IS NO STANDING; I have come into deep waters, Where the floods overflow me.
A desperate plea for GOD’s help! David feels that he is sinking, nothing to stand on! Remember Peter when he walked on water!
Mat 14:30, But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “LORD, SAVE ME!”
When Peter took his eyes off JESUS and focused on the storm he began to sink! NEVER FOCUS ON THE STORM, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LORD WHO IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF ANY STORM THAT MAY COME BEFORE US!
Mat 14:31, And immediately JESUS STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND AND CAUGHT HIM, and said to him, “O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH, WHY DID YOU DOUBT?”
Mat 8:27, So the men marveled, saying, “WHO CAN THIS BE, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM?”
Psa 69:4, THOSE WHO HATE ME WITHOUT A CAUSE ARE MORE THAN THE HAIRS OF MY HEAD; They are mighty who would destroy me, BEING MY ENEMIES WRONGFULLY; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.
David felt the hate for him even though he did nothing wrong! JESUS felt the same hatred!
Joh 15:25, But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.’
They hated JESUS for the crowds that gathered before HIM to hear HIM speak! They hated HIM because HE sought and eat with sinners that they might repent! They hated HIM because HE revealed their true nature!
Mat 23:27, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, BUT INSIDE are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.
If they hated JESUS, they will hate us as well for we are HIS ambassadors to the world!
Mat 10:22a, AND YOU WILL BE HATED BY ALL FOR MY NAME’S SAKE….
HIS KINGDOM IS NEAR, HE IS AT THE DOOR!
