Security in God is seen with the two descriptions of God used in Psalm 16 that many people would find contradictory. In verse 2, David called God “good” and he also called Him “Lord.” We know what “good” means. “Lord” means ruler or boss or sovereign. To David, God’s goodness was not bound up in God being Santa Claus and giving him everything he wanted, but rather the trust that not he, but God was in ultimate control as Lord to determine what was actually good in David’s life. It was absolute submission to God as Lord that resulted in absolute delight in God’s sovereign goodness. So only as David submitted to God as his Lord did he discover the true goodness that his soul craved. The question is, can you say God is your ultimate good even when you don’t get the stuff you think you need? You can only say that if you truly believe that He is your Lord.

A Message from our Provider:

“Having convictions can be defined as being so thoroughly convinced that Christ and His Word are both objectively true and relationally meaningful that you act on your beliefs regardless of the consequences. #Josh McDowell”

It is required of us that we be tender of the good name of our brethren; where we cannot speak well, we had better say nothing than speak evil; we must not take pleasure in making known the faults of others, divulging things that are secret, merely to expose them, nor in making more of their known faults than really they deserve, and, least of all, in making false stories, and spreading things concerning them of which they are altogether innocent. What is this but to raise the hatred and encourage the persecutions of the world, against those who are engaged in the same interests with ourselves, and therefore with whom we ourselves must stand or fall?

Matthew Henry
