Psalm 49, the Redemption of our souls!

Psa 49:6-7, THOSE WHO TRUST IN THEIR WEALTH AND BOAST IN THE MULTITUDE OF THEIR RICHES, NONE OF THEM CAN BY ANY MEANS REDEEM HIS BROTHER, NOR GIVE TO GOD A RANSOM FOR HIM—

Money is a useful tool, yet trusting in it is foolish! You can’t redeem a brother with your riches!

Pro 11:28, He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. 

Psa 49:8-9, FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THEIR SOULS IS COSTLY, AND IT SHALL CEASE FOREVER— THAT HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIVE ETERNALLY, AND NOT SEE THE PIT.

The redemption of the soul is the work only GOD can do, and HE did! IT COST JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, HIS EARTHLY LIFE TO REDEEM OUR SOULS! HIS JOY WAS TO PLEASE HIS FATHER BY BRINGING THE LOST TO HIS PRESENCE!

Heb 12:2, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 

Those who go down to the pit have no hope in getting out, no hope of being comforted; for they rejected the only way to the Father!

Isa 38:18, For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT CANNOT HOPE FOR YOUR TRUTH. 

Psa 6:5, For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? 

Psa 49:15, BUT GOD WILL REDEEM MY SOUL FROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE, FOR HE SHALL RECEIVE ME. SELAH

JESUS served the FATHER by coming down from heaven to give HIS life for the ransom of many!

Mat 20:28, just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY.”

Psa 20:7, Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 

SOME TRUST IN WHAT THEY HAVE, THEIR MONEY, THEIR INFLUENCE, THEIR STRENGTH, BUT I WILL TRUST IN THE LORD, MY REDEEMBER, MY ONLY HOPE!

Psalm 9, Rejoicing in HIM!

Psa 9:1-2, I WILL PRAISE You, O LORD, with my WHOLE HEART; I WILL TELL of all Your marvelous works. I WILL BE GLAD and REJOICE in You; I WILL SING PRAISE to Your name, O Most High.

The LORD is worthy to be praised not with just our lips, but with our life and in all we do!

Rev 4:11, “YOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER; FOR YOU CREATED ALL THINGS, AND BY YOUR WILL THEY EXIST AND WERE CREATED.” 

Psa 9:9, The LORD ALSO WILL BE A REFUGE FOR THE OPPRESSED, A REFUGE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.

Times of trouble will come to all, but HE is our protection, HE is our redeemer! I HAVE SEEN THIS IN ACTION; FOR I WAS RELEASED BY THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES, YET THE LORD RESTORED ME EACH AND EVERY TIME!

Psa 9:10, AND THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR NAME WILL PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU; FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NOT FORSAKEN THOSE WHO SEEK YOU.

Jer 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. 

ONCE YOU HAVE AN EXPERIENCE WITH HIM, YOUR EYES ARE OPENED AND FAITH IS INCREASED! THESE ARE NOT JUST WORDS IN A BOOK, BUT PROMISES TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM! HE IS WILL KEEP HIS WORD!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NOR A SON OF MAN, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? OR HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME? DO YOU TRUST IN HIM? FOR HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU!

Isa 26:3, YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. 

HE HONORS HIS WORD, HIS PROMISES, ABOVE HIS NAME (Psalm 138:2) FOR HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO COMPLETE THE WORK HE HAS STARTED IN YOU! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psa 9:14, … I WILL REJOICE IN YOUR SALVATION.

Job 19, our Redeemer lives!

Job 19:21, “HAVE PITY ON ME, HAVE PITY ON ME, O YOU MY FRIENDS, FOR THE HAND OF GOD HAS STRUCK ME!

Again, Job lost all that he had, his children, his relatives, his close friends and even his servants don’t answer when he calls! V13-19!

Rom 12:15, Rejoice with those who rejoice, and WEEP WITH THOSE WHO WEEP. 

Job 19:23-24, “OH, THAT MY WORDS WERE WRITTEN! OH, THAT THEY WERE INSCRIBED IN A BOOK! THAT THEY WERE ENGRAVED ON A ROCK WITH AN IRON PEN AND LEAD, FOREVER! 

He didn’t know it but the LORD honored his request! His words have been written on THE SOLID ROCK OF SCRIPTURE WITH AN IRON PEN! THE BEST-SELLING BOOK OF ALL TIME!

Job 19:25-27, FOR I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE SHALL STAND AT LAST ON THE EARTH; AND AFTER MY SKIN IS DESTROYED, THIS I KNOW, THAT IN MY FLESH I SHALL SEE GOD, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. HOW MY HEART YEARNS WITHIN ME!

WOW! JOB’S TRUE FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD COMES OUT! IN HIS FLESH HE SHALL SEE THE LORD STANDING ON THE EARTH!

1Th 4:16, For the LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD. AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. 

Isa 54:5-8, FOR YOUR MAKER IS YOUR HUSBAND, THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME; AND YOUR REDEEMER IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; He is called the God of the whole earth. FOR THE LORD HAS CALLED YOU LIKE A WOMAN FORSAKEN AND GRIEVED IN SPIRIT, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God. “FOR A MERE MOMENT I HAVE FORSAKEN YOU, BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES I WILL GATHER YOU. WITH A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM YOU FOR A MOMENT; But with EVERLASTING Kindness I will have mercy on you,” SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER.

WE MAY GRIEVE FOR A SHORT WHILE, BUT KNOW THAT OUR REDEEMER IS COMING FOR HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH! NOT THAT WE DESERVE IT, BUT BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL!

2Samuel 22, Not our Righteousness!

2Sa 22:21-24, “The LORD rewarded me according to MY RIGHTEOUSNESS; According to the CLEANNESS OF MY HANDS He has recompensed me. FOR I HAVE KEPT THE WAYS OF THE LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God. For all His judgments were before me; And as for His statutes, I DID NOT DEPART FROM THEM. I WAS ALSO BLAMELESS BEFORE HIM, AND I KEPT MYSELF FROM MY INIQUITY.

David is not claiming to be perfect for he knows what he did with Uriah & Bathsheba; JUST AS WE KNOW OUR SINS OF THE PAST! THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE!

2Sa 12:13, So David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “THE LORD ALSO HAS PUT AWAY YOUR SIN; … 

GOD HAS ALSO PUT AWAY OUR SINS BY PLACING IT ON HIS OWN SON; WHO BORE

THE CROSS FOR US 1Pe 2:24! IT’S NOT OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT SAVES US, BUT HIS

2Co 5:21, FOR HE MADE HIM WHO KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, THAT WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM. 

OUR PAST MAY CONDEMN US IN OUR MINDS THINKING THAT WE ARE NOT WORTHY; WHICH IS TRUE! BUT HE HAS WASHED US FROM OUR SINS AND WE ARE CLEAN IN HIS EYES!

Isa 1:18, …”Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

2Samuel 18, The death of a son!

2Sa 18:7-8, The people of Israel were overthrown there BEFORE THE SERVANTS OF DAVID, AND A GREAT SLAUGHTER OF TWENTY THOUSAND TOOK PLACE THERE THAT DAY… AND THE WOODS DEVOURED MORE PEOPLE THAT DAY THAN THE SWORD DEVOURED.

Absalom started a civil war against his own father David, but the LORD was on the side of David. More men were killed by the woods; Implies that GOD WAS ALSO HELPING DAVID!

2Sa 18:9, …ABSALOM RODE ON A MULE. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; SO HE WAS LEFT HANGING BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.

Deu 21:23, … FOR HE WHO IS HANGED IS ACCURSED OF GOD

ABSALOM RODE ON A MULE AND WAS CAUGHT ON A TREE BY HIS HAIR LEAVING HIM HANGING! JESUS ALSO RODE ON A MULE AND WAS HUNG ON A TREE BUT, ABSALOM DIED FOR HIS SINS WHEREAS JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS!

2Sa 18:33, … “O my son Absalom—my son, my son Absalom—IF ONLY I HAD DIED IN YOUR PLACE! O ABSALOM MY SON, MY SON!” 

IN DAVID’S CRY WE CAN SEE THE CRY OF THE FATHER CRYING FOR HIS LOST SONS. IF ONLY I HAD DIED IN YOUR PLACE!  WHERE DAVID COULD NOT DO, GOD DID! HE DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.

Rom 5:8, BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
