Today I'm looking at Psalm 141
This is a Psalm of David
This Psalm falls into 4 parts:
V. 1-2
A prayer up to God
V. 3-4
My influences on my heart
V. 5-7
Outward influences on my heart
V. 8-10
My refuge
A Prayer up to God.
A plea to be heard by the Lord but respectful and offered in a reverential, sacrificial, form of worship.
David is asking for God's help so that he can control his fleshly attitudes and not be enticed into any evil ways.
Outward influences on our hearts.
David is well aware of the evil around him and knows that he can trust God for protection from others and that God's Word is more powerful than man's.
Our Refuge.
David knows exactly where his help and refuge is. They are in the Lord.
He can seek God for all the protection and help he needs.
Is our prayer to God offered respectfully?
Is our prayer a reverential, sacrificial form of worship?
Is our prayer for the protection of our hearts from ourselves and from others?
Is our prayer a reverential, sacrificial form of worship?
Is our prayer for the protection of our hearts from ourselves and from others?
Our we as sure as David that God is our true help and refuge?
