Psalm 22:17 – I can count all my bones. People stare. They gloat over me.
Wow. Now I’m sure if he meant this literally, but I can imagine that there would have been some lean times when David was on the run from Saul. So it’s very possible. So many time when reading about the lives of these people, we don’t think about their day to day, but truthfully, their day to day would have major ups and downs like we do.
Psalm 25:10 – Every path of the Lord is one of mercy and truth for those who cling to his promise and written instructions.
Amen. I will cling to the promises and the promise giver.
Psalm 33:16 – No king achieves a victory with a large army. No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
Simply put, we need Yahweh. We can try by ourselves and it may seem like we succeeded, but it won’t be a true and lasting victory.
