How tragic it is that, often as we grow older in our walk with God, sometimes, like David in this Psalm, we begin to depend on our own abilities, resources, or personalities! In our earlier days, with the Lord, we walked in full dependency upon him!     Sermon Notes

He’s working all around us… we can jump in… or sit on the sidelines.     Sermon Notes

In Psalm 37 and in this Psalm, David was confident that his enemies would not succeed. He knew that God mocks the mockers. Therefore, he would watch for God, for God is his stronghold!   Sermon Notes

You and I have seen God act on our behalf… hopefully you’ve recognized it. Let’s live like David and trust God, and believe he is on the throne!   Sermon Notes

Why does David choose to fix his eyes on God rather than his present circumstance? Why does he cry out to God at all? Why does he resolve to praise God in the midst of being hunted by Saul.   Sermon Notes

Some of you can feel that as a father, you’re not where you wish you could be right now spiritually and relationally with God and with your family! David models the correct way to handle this in Psalm 56!   Sermon Notes

He wants our hearts and our requests! He calls us to bring our burdens and our praise and He wants us to leave vengeance and anxiety in his hands.   Sermon Notes

We need the truths of this Psalm! It’ll seem familiar maybe, there’s a reason David cries out to God the same way in different situations and why we are to learn from David how we are to pray and fight.   Sermon Notes

When we live like there is no God, we become the supreme moral authority, at least in our own minds, and that is a dangerous place to be!   Sermon Notes

The issue is not if God will bring justice, rather when God will bring justice. Often we want justice now, but why does God wait? He waits because he is merciful and gracious slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love as we know from Psalm 103:8.   Sermon Notes
