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.
