Not Left to Perish
You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will you allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
~ Psalm 16:10
"This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus;but it applies also, with a variation, to all who are in Him. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is that to which we would call our readers' thoughts.
We may descend very low in spirit till we seem to be plunged in the abyss of hell, but we shall not be left there. We may appear to be at death's door in heart and soul, but we cannot remain there. We may go very low;we may stay in the lowest dungeon of doubt for a while, but we shall not perish there.
The star of hope is still in the sky when the night is blackest. The Lord will not forget us and hand us over to the enemy. Let us rest in hope. Out of death, and darkness, and despair we shall yet arise to life, light, and liberty."

| Sheol, the abyss: Hell |
We may descend very low in spirit till we seem to be plunged in the abyss of hell, but we shall not be left there. We may appear to be at death's door in heart and soul, but we cannot remain there. We may go very low;we may stay in the lowest dungeon of doubt for a while, but we shall not perish there.
The star of hope is still in the sky when the night is blackest. The Lord will not forget us and hand us over to the enemy. Let us rest in hope. Out of death, and darkness, and despair we shall yet arise to life, light, and liberty."

Read Psalm 88 and 89. In the end just before we die our life may seem to be at death's door because of somethings that we may have done that we are not proud of, but with confession we can be made whole again with Jesus, and live forever with Him.
ReplyDeletePlease pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man. As we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
