Psalm 39:7
7 And now, Lord ['Adonay], what
wait [qavah] I for?
my hope [towcheleth] is in
thee. KJV-Interlinear
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My
hope is in you. ESV
The psalmist has
been filled with pressures of anxiety and depression, and unable to remain quiet
any longer. He has seen himself as worthless, living in a hopeless world,
amounting to nothing more than a shadow in his existence.
And now, he complains,
what do I wait for?
He is beginning
his turning to God realizing that waiting on the world, there is nothing in the
world to bring about security or contentment or anything else for that matter. And
so the question, implied, where does one find cheerful or comforting views in
life?
When contemplating
the world in ones pursuits, the course of things in life are nothing more than
a shadow, and a mysterious and empty pursuit of the things in life, that are
temporary, and seemingly have no permanent purpose.
And so the
psalmist realizes that hope is not in the world, but hope lies within God. And,
one’s access to God is by means of the written word. And in attaining access
one has to learn the written word, namely by means of receiving instruction in
a daily Bible study.
And only then,
when a person wakes up, and knuckles down, and dedicates himself to the pursuit
of learning about God and truth, through a daily study, will the eyes be
opened, and the real hope, recognized.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete
yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
