Galatians 3 Psalm 68 1 Chronicles 20-22
Paul challenges those who act without sound judgement, the
foolish, to see they are being deceived by those that would take them away from
following Jesus. The Spirit works through grace and a building faith and
therefor the experience of miracles. The law was the tutor, that pointed us in
the right direction, to receive the blessings by faith in Jesus Christ.
When we make the law the way to redemption, we curse the way
of God. The law never gave us a way to impart life but point us to the right
way to live. Faith in Jesus Christ will always set us apart as we live by faith
rather than the rules of law. When we are baptized in the name of Jesus it is
the start of eliminating the differences between us and allowing us to grow in
love for one another.
The song shows that David wanted the followers of God to be
able to contrast his greatness and the blessings of following him with those
that choose their own path. God does not turn his back on us even when we turn
our backs on God.
Even David was constantly under attack by Satan and when he
let his guard down, he wanted to determine his strength. God wanted David and
Israel to rely fully on him. The nation of Israel paid the price for the sin of
David Leadership is often a lonely position to be in. Rather than seeking the
will of God he launches into an extensive building program and wants to hide
the evidence of his role.
David, when he looks can actually see his sin and asks God
to hold him accountable and not the people. When David sees the messenger of
the Lord and looks on in fear, he takes responsibility for the way he misleads
them that has led to this sinful da.
