"In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion." Psalms 71:1 What ever entered into men's hearts, and after what were they led, that confusion should then be sent by God for judgment and punishment, restraining them from what they imagined to do? And how so would it be God's conclusion and righteous remedy to let one be put to confusion? The degree of embarrassment should be fitting to the measure of our pride in the trespass, and of the inordinate thoughts and behavior we followed against better judgment and obedience. The error of the ungodly is made manifest by the confusion and darkness that they are held under and it shouldn't be any less for one professing knowledge of the truth in Christ. All the more we ought to be careful to attend to love, and a good conscience, and faith without hypocrisy, if we like not to be ashamed before men or worse, at the presence of the Lord when He comes.
God is our beginning and our end. The Great I Am. Although sometimes our flesh anticipates God to fix our problems and protect us when we ask it's not always his time to do so but he will do so at his right time. Keep your faith and be patient. Our Lord and Savior will not forget because his love is UNCONDITIONAL.
Psalms 71:21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. And going back now to verse 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. I love these verse and I am confident He is my shield and He will greatly reward me according to Gen 15: 1. May He forever reign in my Life! Amen.
Let all known that in it own time he made all things beautiful,All we do is to trust and believe. We all need to wait for our God to glorified his name in our lifes.Amen
Let us never be confuse in whom we must trust, for God is for us, we should trust giving all the Glory to God who created all the heavens, and the earth!!!!
Confusion is not of God : When confusion comes to you , you are not able to make wise decisions and therefore the decision that is made will bring shame : It is best to wait before making a answer or decision to wait till you know what God says to do. Jesus did that when the religious people demanded of Him to stone the woman caught in adultery : Jesus did not go with their demand but waited on God !!! In thee O Lord do I put my Trust !!!
sometimes when we put our trust in God...he doesn't always come through for us. it always seems like the deceiver prevails. it may not be the case but that's how it looks in man eyes.
I believe that sometimes ,due to lack of contentment we turn to believe that there is no God or the God we serve is not a faithful one. We sometimes get drawn to a state of confusion when answers are not provided to our worries and it makes us doubt the power of God. But, if we stand firm and know that He,Alpha, is able, all will work for our good.
Psalms 71 is a great way to settle the fight against your enemies, give it to God and let him stand and fight your battles for you, he knows the heart of every man and has the answer or solution to all who try to oppress you! God is not the author of confusion, he wants us to trust him whole heartedly, he already has the answer and he's already prepare the way, step back and let him have HIS way
I am encouraged by this psalm. It speaks volumes of a God acknowledging our humanness. God takes the opportunity to reveal he's wonders and mercies - the caring side of God known as his "goodness and mercy". In my own life's challenges, God has attending to my needs.His promise to me is in v21. (I never got my career off the ground as a Professor). Now 60yrs, I wonder what is God's plans for me.
Psalms 71 reminds me that God is all seeing and doing he never sleeps therefore he is watchful over his children making sure we are protected always. Even when there is such turmoil in your life and you think that there is no way out know that God is always ever present. To God be the glory for ever and ever amen.
I read psalms 71 when my way gets cloudy and I get discourage it let's me know that God is protecting me and he is my rock and there for me. Thank you God for your son Jesus and the two of you are always interceding for me and my family. Amen!
On to God's unchanging hands we will
inherit his reward for he shall reward us openly.
