Meditation of the week: Psalms 73:1-28

Main scripture: Psalms 37:1-40

Subject: The inheritance for them that delight of the Lord, and trust in him in all ways.

             The LORD God anointed David, and let him prophesy of the eternal inheritance for him as well as the people of Israel and the children of God that became the peculiar people through Jesus Christ.

            David, individually had been pursued by king Saul without ceasing who was possessed by the evil spirit. He continued to pass through the valley of death, but never fear, for the LORD was with him always (Ps. 23:3).

The LORD God cut down Saul unto death like grass, and let him wither as the green herb. But David had never hated Saul or envied him. for he was anointed by the LORD God before, but he put him in the hands of God.

            The LORD God was walking with David; and God made him a sample to encourage the people of Israel as well as the Christians nowadays:

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit

the earth.”(Ps. 37:3-9)

             Yeah! After wicked Saul was put to death after he had chased to attack David without ceasing, he became the king of Israel to rule over the whole nation of Israel. In other word, his ruling power over the Israel was as the inheritance of the whole earth.

              The wicked Devil has been ruling the present world for six thousand years; he has been persecuting the people of Israel unto death continuously, knowing them to occupy the earth to be the people of priest in the future. And sooner or later, he shall be manifested in flesh in the form of man to deceive the world saying himself the Christ. And he has been planning to destroy the people of Israel form the earth using his Principality and the Power. But he also shall be cut off like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Apostle John saw the thing to be happening fir Antichrist in the Spirit, and testified:

“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”(Rev. 19:20)

           Not only the people of Israel, but also the born again Christian that are the children of God have been hated and persecuted by the prince of the world continuously. Jesus spoke unto his disciples, such things shall be coming to pass unto them saying, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake….. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”(Luke 6:22, John 15:19)

              The Lord Jesus also testified of the reward for them that shall be persecuted for the sake of him:

“Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. ..Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”(Matt. 5:11,12)

           Apostle Paul wrote unto the saints in the church of Ephesians of the spiritual warfare as well as armaments for it in the present world:

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”(Eph. 6:10-19)

              Apostle Paul testified of the reward for them that endure all the sufferings for the sake of the Lord unto pastor Timothy:

“Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:”(2Tim. 2:10-12)

              Knowing the parable of pound(mina) that was spoken to the disciples in the book of Luke(Luke 19:11-27), Apostle Paul testified unto Timothy of them that shall reign over ten cities, and for some others five cities, and for some one no reigning power at all in the Millennium kingdom of Jesus Christ that shall be established after the Lord Jesus come to the earth in the name of King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and judge the all nations.

            In the main passage, David testified in the Spirit of them that shall occupy the earth. He continued to testify again saying, “For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”

David testified again of them that shall be blessed by God saying, “For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.”

Jesus also testified of them that shall inherit the earth saying,

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”(Matt. 5:5)

            Yeah! Whosoever is waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith is able to delight himself of the Lord in such hope. Whosoever is waiting for the inheritance upon the coming of the Lord when the present life as an handbreadth is over is able to endure any kind of suffering with joy. Even natural men that are non Christians are enduring themselves in the midst of all kinds of suffering with their confidence to achieve their goal, even though no one support them at all. Whosoever believe the words of God that are spoken seven times by God, and wait upon him is able to endure even unto death.

            The ancient prophets saw the judgment of the LORD God in the Spirit as well as his kingdom in the earth to be established after the judgment prophesied. They could endure all the sufferings, for they saw the things to come. Prophet Habakkuk testified in fear and trembling seeing the scene of judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ in the end time in the Spirit:

“The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.”(Hab. 3:10-16)

            Upon seeing such a marvelous scene, he repented himself awakening his spirit, and confessed in fear and trembling:

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.”(Hab. 3:17-19)

              Yeah! The children of God born of the Spirit are able to see all the visions in the words of God, when they read them or hear. This is the reason why Jesus spoke unto Nicodemus saying, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”(John 3:3)

              When we are born again of the Spirit of God, and see the things that are coming to pass clearly, we are not to be discouraged, but to prepare for his coming, and to receive the strength through the joy of the Lord(Neh. 8:10), and to able to over come all the sufferings. And we shall receive the desire form God when we delight of the Lord; and we are able to do the works of the Lord. Apostle Paul testified unto the saints in Philippians of this:

“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”(Phil. 2:12-15)

              Yeah! The people of Israel has been given the inheritance to be the nation of priest in the New earth to come; and for the born again church of God, eternal reigning power over the earth with Christ Jesus dwelling in the New Jerusalem. Amen! Hallelujah!
