QT learning:Psalm 71:5-7, 9, 18, 20
In Psalm 71, David looks back over the past trail he's travelled, looks at the present, and looks forward to the future and sees all the marks of GOD's goodness and care. From that time he was a boy shepherding his father's flock, he has seen GOD intervene for him time and time again. It's very apparent that GOD has sustained him, and the old king's heart swells with gratitude.
David is long gone, but like him we're on a trail with a past, present, and future. GOD is behind us, forgiving our sins and helping us deal with our past mistakes and shortcomings.
He has also mapped out a future for us. He's gone ahead and blazed a trail that is full of good works, significance, and fulfillment. We are His workmanship (Eph 2:10), and He is planning to utilize us. Our future is bright because He ordained our trails.
Here is the present, His hand is upon our lives wherever we are. He is soverign in our lives. He has a plan. He has outlined a trail for us, and if we are smart, we'll stay on it. If we've drifted off the trail - or never even started it - it's time to put tt all behind you. The trail is where we want to be.
GOD's divine... as i prayed HE shows me this passage to assure me tt i should PUSH - Pray Until Something Happen! MI can be done! I've been paid for in FULL 3:45 PM
