Show yourself means Revealing yourself.
Genesis 18:17
The cry of Sodom went up to God. and God decided to destroy sodom and gomorah.
Before going to destroy, God thought should I hide what i am about to do.I will reveal what I am going to do to Abraham.
Why did God wanted to reveal to Abraham what He is about to do?
When we are doing something important thing, to whom do we reveal?
to people who are close to us, who knows our very heart, who follows us.
When God looked at whole world there 2 righteous people. Abraham. and Lot.
God did not reveal His plan to Lot. But only to Abraham.
Genesis CH 18: V 19 says because that Abraham will direct coming generation to follow the Way of the Lord.
It is one thing to experience the miracles of God. It is another thing to know the heart of God and follow the heart of God and direct your people in that path. and God reveals these things to those people.
Lot couldn't direct his generations to follow his path.
Many Christians are like Lot, who just receive the righteousness of God and keeps the righteousness with themselves but does not guide the families, generations to follow the ways of God.
that is why in Psalm 103:7 it says, God revealed his acts to Israel, but to Moses His ways.
Faithfulness
Integrity
Purity
Humbleness
Do we want to God to reveal Himself to us, the righteousness that we received be reflected in our lives and may our lives be a light and guide to our families and generations.
V 29-45:
These verses are about God giving victory.
There are lot of things written in these verses,
V32: Davids strength
V33: David was quick in attacking enemies, he is a mighty warrior.
V34, he can even bend the bronze bow.
In all these strengths of David, he gives glory to God. He says this is all from God.
knowing this is key for Christian lives,
if you are able to sing well, direct the praise to God.
if you are an expert in your work place, give glory to God.
if you are an excellent cook , give glory to God.
Don't say Yes it is my strength, my talent. say it is Gods grace. let us learn from David in turning every strength we have to the glory of God.
In all these things, one striking thing is
With the help of God, David says he can go against an army
with help of God, He can scale a wall.
Can one man go against an army? is it possible.
or
in those days, the fortress of the kingdoms used to so thick and so tall. no man can just go up that fortress.
These things, that a man against an army, going up a fortress walls represents impossible things.
David says, the things which looks impossible in man's sight are possible with the help of God.
because verse 30,31 says God promises are true.
David did not say these things just to write in psalm, but these are his true experiences,
Today what is looking impossible in your life?
are you not able to overcome some sin in your life?
is your finance not getting better over the years.
Waiting for the fruit of the womb
are you waiting for healing in your life?
Church, the God Almighty who helped David in his times of problems is the same God today,
look to His face,
V 46-50
In response to the victory God has given, Psalmist turns it to praise God.
When God does miracle, my God lives.
for many people God is someone who is in heaven,
but 1 John 4: 12 says God lives in us, if we love one another.
but know that God is living God, He lives and and He is actively involved in every moment of our lives.
Church, let us desire for the knowing the ways of this living God, and God will reveal Himself to us.
