Ps 13 1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me ever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I scuffle with my studies and every day have anguish in my heart? How long will my adversary triumph over me?" When we're delivered, we enter into a relationship with God. God condescends to our solicitations on our position. The bible designates this enjoying fellowship with God. The Psalmist is speaking to God who manages our circumstances by embracing us with an unerring love. When the Psalmist gests success and concinnity with God, he describes it as a face to face relationship. He duly describes this face to face covenant relationship as dependence on Gods unerring love. This unerring love steadfastly remains how God deals with us as a Father. Our fellowship with God is soundly grounded on His covenant the descriptive name. He's always faithful, kind, long suffering, gentle and loving. These Godly names of God are inseparably united with our unique gests in this world like the glowing fire and light. God is naturally gathering us in His gracious condescension. The covenant relationship is always predicated forcefully in these tender names. But the psalms also educate the unerring love is pledged to covenant keepers. Accordingly, some people look on this as a mortal covenant. But this isn't a economic deal or a collective pledge of patient compliance. Comparatively, it's ideologically grounded upon the collective security that one experience in a family relationship. The Psalmist doesn't essay assuaging God with a reasonable offer. Rather the continued success is soundly grounded on adequately compensating the Psalmist courteously according to Gods work of our eternal covenant Mediator. Hence, the Psalmist speaks about mans side in terms of obedience, and he's not talking about a sliding scale in being accepted. But he's saying we're authorized because of Godly grace and genuine remission. You see then the Psalmist is repeating the first Chorale with God diligently watching over the righteous. Thus, this face to face relationship includes the circumstances of tremendous opposition the Psalmist is defying. The redoubtable adversaries who help him from inseparably uniting the covenant reality with the extraordinary experience. God has uniquely designed and sustains all necessary effects. He precisely manages all necessary circumstances. God can satisfactorily establish our circumstances with the most extraordinary success by unifying the covenant promises with our accessible solicitations. But because there's active opposition we witness high or low times in our practical lives. Accordingly, God can deaden the educated pain of suffering and increase the inenarrable joy and genuine pleasure in our pronounced success.
God is the benevolent creator. He has directly made us like Himself. He uniquely designed the world and communicated it to man as a generous gift. We live in a created world that's fully controlled by God. Thus, Gods covenant relationship is absolutely successful by glorifying Himself in us. We don't live in a temporal but a creative world. We've been miraculously converted from estimating time as a automated process. That world was crucified in Christ. This altered world is grounded upon Gods Law, statutes, curses, decrees and covenants. All of the authoritative pronouncement proportionally represent the tools we speak to construct the extraordinary success of the eternal kingdom. They're like skirmishes to sketch the authentic picture. We forge our peaceful future by Gods authoritative pronouncements. Hence, Gods success is only fulfilled by Godly word and Spirit. We must understand the creative world view doesn't have the same limits as the temporal world. In the creative covenant world Gods unifying all effects to glorify Himself. God can manufacture anything in our experience from nothing. God can replace the sincere solicitations of all men at any time. He can formulate the view that determines how other men observe us. God can get relieve of a terrible memory and instantly replace it with a affable bone. God uses His word to determine how we feel and what we vicariously witness in all specific circumstances. He can produce our disposition and unify with other people. Hence, God commands numerous generations together for the purpose of establishing one unborn generation. We're describing the tools in the Spirituals, and are passing the radically different creative world. You see then the Psalmist is in the middle of sketching his affable picture, and he needs further of an figure sketched by God to employ the colors in the picture.
