Genesis 28:1-22; Job 36:1-37:24; Matthew 15:1-28
He who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him…shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Psalm 32:10-11 NKJV
In audio technology, “surround sound” is the ultimate 360° experience; sound from every angle rather than uni-dimensional. But David was enjoying something infinitely better as he trusted in the Lord. Our moments of greatest exposure and vulnerability are when we trust in ourselves. David was shouting for joy, knowing he was totally surrounded by the goodness, faithfulness, and lovingkindness of the Lord Himself. I have a reason to shout for
joy today. —P. Ramsay
He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate,
His loving-kindness, oh, how great! —Samuel Medley
