A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 94

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 94
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.

If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.

In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul (Psalm 94:17-19).
 
When God created Adam and Eve He made them with the ability to perfectly relate to each other, to the world around them, and to God who created them. They were wonderfully made (body, soul, and spirit).
 
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (mind, will, and emotions) (Genesis 2:7).
 
Isn’t it wonderful that God speaks and we can hear His voice, God leads and we can see His footsteps, God instructs and we can know His ways.
 
Isn’t it wonderful that His Word is living and life-giving. We can eat it like bread. We can taste it like honey and be fully persuaded that the Lord is good.
 
Isn’t it wonderful that His Spirit is joined to our spirit, that we are one in the Spirit, and that His Spirit is our Helper and will lead us into all truth.
 
Isn’t it wonderful that our spiritual ears can hear what the Spirit is saying, that we can recognize His voice of peace, that we can be reassured we belong to the Lord, and that we are members of His family and joint-heirs with Christ.
 
Isn’t it wonderful that our spiritual eyes can see the beauty of the Lord, that we can see the light of His Word being a lamp unto our feet, that we can see what is unseen, and that we can see the mighty hand of God moving in miraculous ways in signs and wonders as He touches the lives of others.
 
Isn’t it wonderful that we have the mind of Christ, that His thoughts can be our thoughts, that His wisdom can be known in our everyday decisions, and that His plans can be revealed as we seek to know Him and do His will.
 
Insight: Your soul is made to be delighted in God.

Insight: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You".  - St. Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD)
