Lord Hold Me Up

LORD HOLD ME UP

INTRODUCTION

AT THIS TIME DAVID IS IN GREAT DISTRESS AND IN GREAT DANGER BY THE MALICE OF HIS ENEMIES. BUT BY PRAYER HE ADDEESSES HIMSELF TO GOD. HE PRAYS TO GOD THAT HE BE UPHELD IN HIS INTEGRITY AND BE PRESERVED FROM THE ANIMOSITY OF HIS ENEMIES

VERSE 5

DAVID IS PRAYING FOR THE WORKS OF GOD’S SOVERIGN GRACE TO HOLD UP HIS FOOTSTEPS AND BE KEPT FROM THE PATH OF HIS DESTROYERS. IN ESSENCE BY THE SAME GRACE DAVID MAY WELL BE SAYING,

LET ME BE KEPT IN MY PATHS:

1) THAT I MAY BE RESTRAINED FROM DOING THAT WHICH IS EVIL, BUT QUICKENED TO ABOUND ALWAYS IN THAT WHICH IS GOOD.

2) THAT I MAY NOT TURN BACK FROM THEM NOR TURN ASIDE OUT OF THEM

3) THAT I MAY NOT STUMBLE AND FALL INTO SIN

4) THAT I MAY NOT NEGLECT MY DUTY

LORD HOLD ME UP

2CORINTHIANS 12:10

THEREFORE, I TAKE PLEASURE IN INFIRMITIES, IN REPROACHES, IN NECESSITIES, IN PERSECUTIONS, IN DISTRESS FOR CHRISTS SAKE: FOR WHEN I AM WEAK THEN I AM STRONG.

LORD HOLD ME UP

FOR WE WILL STAND NO LONGER THAN GOD IS PLEASED TO HAVE US STAND.

WE WILL GO NO FURTHER THAN GOD IS PLEASED TO HAVE US GO
