FRI The Word of God

Psalm 119:1~11 How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.(9~11)

There are some things we have no choice but to believe if there are evidences that prove them. Likewise, if we hold onto the evidence God gives, that very faith does not shake. Amidst countless crises of death and problems, David was able to praise God because he had evidence. David held onto the Word that God would raise him up as king as his sure evidence. What must we do if we want to remain unshaken like David?

1. We must discover the evidence from the problems of the age

When the Israelites lost hold of the covenant, David knew the importance of the Ark of the Covenant and grabbed hold of the covenant that God gave to him. When the Philistines invaded, David firmly held onto the covenant that God gave him. In addition, David even knew what he had to do when Saul was chasing after him to kill him. Even if there are a lot of problems and hardships in the world, you will discover evidence if you just look to the covenant that God gives.

2. You must hold onto the evidence of the Word

When the older generation lost hold of the covenant, David grabbed onto the Word of God as evidence.Psalm 78:70~72 When Samuel anointed David with oil, the spirit of God came upon him, and from that moment on, the evidence of the Word appeared through David. When David stood in front of Goliath, the mighty Philistine army fled, and when David praised God in front of King Saul, the evil spirit departed. The power of God is revealed and the Word is fulfilled in every place a child of God who holds onto the evidence of the Word goes.

3. You must hold onto the evidence of answers

When David was young, he held onto the covenant that he would become king in the future. He grabbed hold of the evidence of overcoming Goliath during his childhood and King Saul once he became a young adult. Moreover, he held onto the commission of the temple construction as his evidence when he became king and the evidence of relaying the covenant to the people of Israel and correctly raising up the Israel nation during his elderly years. David held onto the Word God gave as his evidence his entire life, and was used as a person of answers.
