THE REGARD WHICH GOD HAS TO HIS PEOPLE

MONDAY, 30TH OCTOBER, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE

TOPIC:  THE REGARD WHICH GOD HAS TO HIS PEOPLE

MEMORIZE: "Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy."- Psalm 33:18.

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 33:18-20

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, 19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.”

EXPOSITION:

The regard which God has to his people is recorded in Psalm 33.18,19. God beholds all the sons of men with an eye of observation, but his eye of favour and complacency is upon those that fear him. He looks upon them with delight, as the father on his children, as the bridegroom on his spouse, Isaiah 62:5 “For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you.”. While those that depend on arms and armies, on chariots and horses, perish in the disappointment of their expectations, God's people, under his protection, are safe, for he shall deliver their soul from death then there seems to be but a step between them and it. If he does not deliver the body from temporal death, yet he will deliver the soul from spiritual and eternal death. Their souls, whatever happens, shall live and praise him, either in this world or in a better. From his bounty they shall be supplied with all necessaries. He shall keep them alive in famine; when others die for want, they shall live, which shall make it a distinguishing mercy. When visible means fail, God will find out some way or other to supply them. He does not say that he will give them abundance (they have no reason either to desire it or to expect it), but he will keep them alive; they shall not starve; and, when destroying judgments are abroad, it ought to be reckoned a great favour, for it is a very strong one, and lays us under peculiar obligations, to have our lives given us for a prey. Those that have the Lord for their God shall find him their help and their shield, Psalm 33:20 “Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.”. In their difficulties he will assist them; they shall be helped over them, helped through them. In their dangers he will secure them, so that they shall not receive any real damage.

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, be our help in troubles in Jesus name.
