In Psalms 7 - 10, there
is a real sense of the greatness of God. He is “majestic” (Psalm 8:1).
He is “enthroned forever” (Psalm 9:7,11). He is “King forever and ever”
(Psalm 10:16). He is our “Judge” (Psalm 7:8). The Psalmist teaches us to
see our life in the light of God. His light shines brightly upon us.
His light exposes our darkness. He’s calling us to walk in His light. He
calls us to take refuge in Him: “O Lord my God, I have taken refuge in
You” (Psalm 7:1). He calls us to rejoice in Him: “I will be glad and
rejoice in You” (Psalm 9:2). He calls us to seek His help: “Those who
know Your Name trust You, O Lord, because You have never deserted those
who seek your help” (Psalm 9:10). If we are to answer God’s call - take
refuge in Him, rejoice in Him and seek His help, we must leave behind
the way of the wicked: “In his pride the wicked does not seek Him; in
all His thoughts there is no room for God” (Psalm 10:4). When we answer
God’s call, He starts changing us - our way of thinking and our way of
living. He is the caring and sharing God: “You have heard the desire of
oppressed people, O Lord. You encourage them. You pay close attention to
them in order to provide justice for orphans, and oppressed people, so
that no mere mortal terrify them again” (Psalm 10:17-18). He’s calling
us to be like Him. Let’s not keep His love and His blessing to
ourselves. Let’s show His love. Let’s share His love.
