PSALM 6 (A CONTRAST TO PSALM 5).
A DARK NIGHT.
Introduction: What a contrast we have here to Psalm 5. What a difference a day can make when we walk and do things in the flesh instead of the spirit.
Proposition: We need to learn from our Lord’s lesson that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. There are two main points to the ten verses of this Psalm:-
David’s Sad Condition and then his Sudden Confidence.
Body of Teaching:
- HIS SAD CONDITION – VERSES 1 TO 7.
Notice how David speaks about his excuse – “I am weak!” Here is the mental aspect of all….
- HIS PLIGHT – verses 1 to 3.
- Along Spiritual Lines.
- Along Physical Lines.
- Along Moral Lines.
- HIS PLEA – verses 4 to 5.
- Along the Line of Mercy.
- Along the Line of Memory.
Next we see how David speaks about his strength – “I am weary!” Here is the physical aspect of all….
- He was worn out – verse 6.
- He was waxing old – verse 7.
2. HIS SUDDEN CONFIDENCE – VERSES 8 TO 10.
1. His FEARS are stilled – verses 8 to 9.
2. His FOES are stopped – verse 10.
Conclusion – The Lord Jesus (L’Adonai Y’shua) is on the Throne – Reigning and Ruling.
He is in the habit of renewing and restoring His redeemed. Israel will one day realise this and rejoice. Amen. |
