Psalm 28, the ROCK!

Psa 28:1, TO YOU I WILL CRY, O LORD MY ROCK: DO NOT BE SILENT TO ME, LEST, IF YOU ARE SILENT TO ME, I BECOME LIKE THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT. 

The new testament tells us to build on the ROCK for when storms arise we will not be moved! A SURE SOLID FOUNDATION IS HE!

Luk 6:48, …AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON THE ROCK. AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY AGAINST THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK. 

Moses once said “PLEASE, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY” and the LORD placed him on the ROCK! FOR ONLY THOSE ON THE ROCK WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIS GLORY!

Exo 33:22, So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 

David knew without guidance from the LORD his ROCK, he would end up in the pit of hell!

Deu 32:3-4, FOR I PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE GREATNESS TO OUR GOD. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.

Psa 28:2, Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

As a son crying for his FATHER; David cried out to the LORD! Hear me LORD! At times it may appear like the LORD isn’t doing anything, but it only looks that way! FOR HE IS ALWAYS WORKING ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!

Psa 37:25, I HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW AM OLD; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

Psa 121:4, BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. 

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND! SEEK HIS FACE DAILY FOR HE THE ROCK OF OUR STRENGTH; A SURE AND SOLID FOUNDATION! SPEAK TO THE ROCK AND HE WILL GIVE YOU LIVING WATER!

Job 33, God speaks to those perishing!

Job 33:14-15, FOR GOD MAY SPEAK IN ONE WAY, OR IN ANOTHER, YET MAN DOES NOT PERCEIVE IT. IN A DREAM, IN A VISION OF THE NIGHT, WHEN DEEP SLEEP FALLS UPON MEN, WHILE SLUMBERING ON THEIR BEDS,

God is always speaking to everyone, yet the majority do not listen or do not perceive!

Mat 13:14, … ‘HEARING YOU WILL HEAR AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND, AND SEEING YOU WILL SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE; 

Job 33:16-18, THEN HE OPENS THE EARS OF MEN, AND SEALS THEIR INSTRUCTION. IN ORDER TO TURN MAN FROM HIS DEED, AND CONCEAL PRIDE FROM MAN, HE KEEPS BACK HIS SOUL FROM THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE FROM PERISHING BY THE SWORD.

This is the reason GOD speaks to us! In order to keep our souls from the PIT of hell, from the pit of death away from HIM! This is HIS main purpose, that is why HE sent HIS SON, JESUS!

Luk 9:35, And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON. HEAR HIM!” 

Job 33:21-22, His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones stick out which once were not seen. YES, HIS SOUL DRAWS NEAR THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE TO THE EXECUTIONERS.

FOR THOSE THAT ARE PERISHING THEIR SOULS ARE DYING AND FADING AWAY.

Job 33:23-24, “If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one among a thousand, To show man HIS UPRIGHTNESS, Then HE is gracious to him, and says, DELIVER HIM FROM GOING DOWN TO THE PIT; I HAVE FOUND A RANSOM!

Pastor’s, teachers, evangelist, and servants of the MOST HIGH need to teach HIS way to those who are perishing! THOSE THAT WHO OPEN THEIR HEARTS TO HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS WORDS, HE WILL DELIVER FROM THE PIT OF DEATH WHERE THERE IS NO HOPE!

Zec 9:11, “As for you also, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF YOUR COVENANT, I WILL SET YOUR PRISONERS FREE FROM THE WATERLESS PIT.

IT IS BECAUSE OF JESUS’S BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED ON CALVARY THAT WE ARE DELIVERED FROM WHAT WE DESERVE!

Job 33:28, HE will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit, And his life shall see the light.

Job 24, Evil men will have their day!

Job 24:1, “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, WHY DO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM SEE NOT HIS DAYS? 

Job struggles in understanding why the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous don’t? FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW IT IS HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO UNDERSTAND WHY GOD DOES OR DOESN’T DO SOMETHING? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW HIM KNOWS WILL PLACE THEIR TRUST IN HIM!

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. 

Job 24:2-4, “SOME REMOVE LANDMARKS; THEY SEIZE FLOCKS VIOLENTLY AND FEED ON THEM; THEY DRIVE AWAY THE DONKEY OF THE FATHERLESS; THEY TAKE THE WIDOW’S OX AS A PLEDGE. THEY PUSH THE NEEDY OFF THE ROAD; ALL THE POOR OF THE LAND ARE FORCED TO HIDE.

Job sees these evil men stealing from the poor, from the fatherless and from the widows; Job knows what’s written in HIS word regarding them. BUT JUSTICE DOESN’T SEEM TO COME? GOD SEEMS TO BE SILENT EVEN THOUGH IN HIS WORD THOSE EVIL MEN ARE CURSED?

Deu 27:17, ‘CURSED IS THE ONE WHO MOVES HIS NEIGHBOR’S LANDMARK.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ 

Deu 10:18, HE ADMINISTERS JUSTICE FOR THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 

Job 24:12, The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; YET GOD DOES NOT CHARGE THEM WITH WRONG. 

Psa 73:17-19, UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

THE DAY IS COMING AND IS ALMOST HERE, WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SEE THEIR BLESSED HOPE, JESUS, FACE TO FACE, BUT THE WICKED WILL HAVE THEIR END!

Isa 3:11, Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Job 18, the end of the wicked!

Job 18:1-3, Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: “How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak. Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?

Job and his, so called, friends are getting tired of the arguments! Job stands firm on his innocents while the other 3 condemn him of sin! BEAST ARE IGNORANT AND FOOLISH TO THE WAYS OF GOD!

Psa 73:22, I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. 

Job 18:5-7, “The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine. The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out. THE STEPS OF HIS STRENGTH ARE SHORTENED, AND HIS OWN COUNSEL CASTS HIM DOWN.

Bildad is saying, “THE WICKED ARE CUT OFF QUICKLY ON THE EARTH. LOOK AT YOURSELF; CAN’T YOU SEE YOU ARE BEING CUT OFF”?

Pro 13:9, The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked will be put out. 

But, this is not always true, sometimes the wicked live longer and better than those who live righteously!

Psa 73:2-5, But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. FOR I WAS ENVIOUS OF THE BOASTFUL, WHEN I SAW THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED. FOR THERE ARE NO PANGS IN THEIR DEATH, BUT THEIR STRENGTH IS FIRM. THEY ARE NOT IN TROUBLE AS OTHER MEN, NOR ARE THEY PLAGUED LIKE OTHER MEN.

Most people live their lives only looking at the here and now! These people don’t realize that they will live forever! EITHER WITH HIM OR WITHOUT HIM!

Asaph finally understood the end of the wicked when he entered the house of the LORD!

Psa 73:17, Until I went into the sanctuary of God; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. 

Psa 37:10-11, FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE AND THE WICKED SHALL BE NO MORE; INDEED, YOU WILL LOOK CAREFULLY FOR HIS PLACE, BUT IT SHALL BE NO MORE. But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

2Chronicles 15, SEEK HIM While!

2Ch 15:1-2, NOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD came upon Azariah the son of Oded. and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “HEAR ME, ASA, AND ALL JUDAH AND BENJAMIN. THE LORD IS WITH YOU WHILE YOU ARE WITH HIM. IF YOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND BY YOU; BUT IF YOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL FORSAKE YOU. 

Hear ME, Asa, Judah, and Benjamin, not just the king of Judah, but listen EVERYONE including US for the LORD is speaking through Azariah! THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND THE LORD IS DEPENDANT ON US; BUT SIN DRIVES A WEDGE BETWEEN US AND HIM!

Deu 4:29, But from there YOU WILL SEEK THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND YOU WILL FIND HIM IF YOU SEEK HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. 

IF you seek HIM then you shall find HIM!

Isa 55:6-7, SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR. LET THE WICKED FORSAKE HIS WAY, AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS MAN HIS THOUGHTS; Let him return to the LORD, AND HE WILL HAVE MERCY ON HIM; AND TO OUR GOD, FOR HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON.

Seek HIM WHILE HE may be found! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

Isa 38:18 NLT, For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE GRAVE CAN NO LONGER HOPE IN YOUR FAITHFULNESS. 

For those, time ran out! HIS words of salvation through HIS SON will never be heard again!

Psa 88:11, Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction? 

JESUS paid a price for you! It’s a free gift to us but it cost HIM EVERYTHING! You can’t cleanse yourself, only HIS word can do that! 

SEEK HIM! Psa 119:9, How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
