Good Day,
Psalm 25 Commentary:
This Psalm is a precious Psalm because David, once again, is looking to God for help and deliverance, as he hopes in God. He is steadfast as he searches and ultimately, trusts Him (v 1). In every trial we have, we should always look to God and trust Him. We need to remember God is our deliver (v 22).
David recognizes God’s sovereignty and puts his hope in God despite his circumstances. We see David searching out his heart to ensure that he did not somehow inflict this trouble on himself or sin (vv 7 & 8), asking God not to remember him by his sins, but God’s love. He asks God to return to him and to relieve the stress and trouble in his heart, for he is lonely and afflicted (vv 16-19). He asks God to teach, guide, and lead Him as he hopes in God all day long (vv 4 &5 ). In verses 1,3, 5, & 21, the word “hope” is mentioned. It is not an accident. Hope leads to faith! Never forget it! Hope is the rope you hold onto. That ropes’ name is God. David hopes in God all day long no matter what the weather forecast is. What about you?
