KING DAVIDÕS CONFESSION< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 37

ÒI have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.  He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed.Ó (Psalm 37:25-26) King David, a man referred to as ÒOne that is after GodÕs own heartÓ (Acts 13:22) knew exactly what he was talking about. King David was not arousing emotion neither does it sound as if he was attempting to please God. The truth behind King DavidÕs statement is that indeed it was pleasing to God because it was a statement that demonstrates faith in the highest order. Hebrews 11:6, ÒBut without faith it is impossible to please HimÉÓ What David did was testify about the faithfulness of God. King David was so sure of his God and he testified about his lifetime experience of not having seen a righteous one ever forsaken. Who is it or who are those that David referred to as never been forsaken? King David was referring to the righteous one. Who is righteous? 2 Corinthians 5:21, ÒFor He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Ó Have you accepted Christ indeed and in truth? It is one thing to claim having accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and not be living the word of God. Also, it is another thing to claim to have received Christ and actually be living according to the word of God. When a believer begins to live indeed and in truth, he becomes righteous in Christ Jesus. The righteous are the ones that King David referred to as the one that cannot be forsaken. God is constantly consistent in His way and His ways have not changed from the times of the Bible through today. His ways will never change, but His ways will be making changes in every way to the glory of His Name. Where do you stand? Are you consistent with your confession? Are you true to the word of God? God will not forsake any of His own. Jesus loves you and He will not give you what you do not need. Be encouraged and take to the word of Hebrews 13:5 ÒLet your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said I will never leave you nor forsake you.Ó David experienced it and confessed it. If you will live according to the word of God, this will also be your portion just as it was for the sanctified. God is faithful! Ask Him to help you out and He will do it if you will belief.
