Psalm 30:10
10 Hear [shama`], O LORD [Yahovah], and have mercy [chanan]
upon me: LORD [Yahovah], be thou my helper [`azar]. KJV-Interlinear
10
"Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me; O Lord, be Thou my helper." NASB
The word for hear, ‘shama,’
means to bend down low, to listen intently, to focus on me and my needs.
The word for mercy, ‘chanan,’
means to stoop in kindness to an inferior, to favor, to act with favor. This is the action of Gods grace, or God
actually doing something. Whereas, grace
is Gods favor, then mercy is His action, or grace in action.
Helper, ‘azar,’ means to
surround, to protect, to aid.
And whereas we all live
in this world, it does not hear our pleas in times of need. The world shows no mercy, or does nothing
really, for us except push enticements and false hopes and false paths in our
way. The world provides no help, no
support, no aid, no protection. This is
the devils world, and his world is run by the laws of the jungle, supporting
the strong and the quick, and even then, other strong and other quick always
come along and remove the former strong and quick and so no one is safe or
protected.
To balance out the jungle
laws, God has given us the laws of divine establishment which serve to stabilize
life and society in this world.
God the Son, who is the
savior, who is the second person of the Trinity, who is Jesus Christ, however
surrounds the advancing believer, who is in fellowship, with the wall of fire
of His grace and divine favor, and hears our every plea, and supports us even
when we cannot see it or understand it, preventing the world from swallowing us
up into its misery, and promoting us within Gods plan for each of our
individual lives.
In the world, we are
nothing more than a number, a category, a small link in a very long chain.
But with God, He listens
to each one of us personally, listens intently with great focus to each of us,
has a personal plan just for us, making each one of us intrinsically valuable
beyond imagination. God interacts directly
with us on a one to one and personal basis, through doctrine and through prayer
based on that doctrine.
Therefore, you have to
learn doctrine and live in doctrine daily, in order to have access to this
personal relationship.
And how do you learn bible
doctrine?
