The Psalmist is carefully teaching eternal salvation is being faithfully delivered from everlasting death. When man fell into sin, he instantly began to experience bodily and spiritual death. This fierce struggle was not ordinary to man as God fashioned him.
If God willingly allowed us to vicariously experience the broad effects
of the considerable fall, we would all be evaporated in a breathless
instant. Consequently, God had to promptly become the effective agent by which we are prevented and graciously allowed to vicariously experience the adequate quality and the controlled depth of this fierce opposition. 8 To you, O LORD , I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy:9 "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it proclaim your faithfulness?10 Hear, O LORD , and be merciful to me;O LORD , be my help."
Our natural response of dealing appropriately with fierce opposition from the world and our personal struggle is to attack it by dividing it up and conventionally defining it. Therefore, we look at struggling with opposition as a list of possible things to do. But the Psalmist carefully teaches that considerable opposition to the Christian is a vulnerable state of struggling with our low view of the reasonable expectations that come from our personal view of the world. You must see that its not the historical event itself or our prevailing view of the weight that we experience in the struggle that causes our insecurity but its the proportional weight of this spiritual and sordid struggle with death that is in Gods hands.
You must understand that Gods view of all opposition goes to the distinct molecule of corruption. If God intentionally chose to give us absolute power over all considerable opposition then everything that we do would be satisfactorily accomplished with the most insight and understanding that enabled us to favourably know the promising future of our present choices. This is why in the Psalms; emotional experiences are made up of the mystery that is a result of our incomplete knowledge of this opposition. If we reduce the standard that has for our security then our world would be defined by how we achieve in accepting our responsibilities. But the Psalmist forcibly expresses His emotional frustration out of mystery that assuredly comes from eternity dwelling in our hearts. This is what I call divine unity of eternal purpose and generous gifts.
In other words when sin and corruption entered the world they opposed us by the considerable weight of the fierce curse. Corruption prevents us from our adequate expression of our gifts and the experience of pleasure that we find in expressing them. The Psalmist is saying that when God favored him he was at his most extraordinary pleasure of success as a result of his gifts. This pleasure, that the psalmist experience was burned in his soul. He is eloquently describing this unique experience as the genuine feeling of comprehensive security. The Psalmist teaches that this deep pleasure, that God allows and prevents teaches him the amount of passion that he has in speaking the laws, decrees, statutes, curses and covenants. He is vehemently criticizing the relentless opposition to his extraordinary pleasure in the authoritative pronouncements.
We must understand Gods gifts are the causes of His perfect creation. When the Psalmist speaks the generous gifts, he vicariously experiences the divine unity of eternal purpose. He finds the search has no limits and no bottom. We are seeking something that we cannot comprehend, greater than we can think of and eternally satisfying. In discovering the pleasure that is drawn out of mystery we advance to more pleasure and more mystery. This is sufficiently defined by the Psalmist as eternal security.
