Here David declares his trust in God. Who do we trust? David says he delights not only in God but also in His people, what about us?
Save me, O God, because I have come to you for refuge.
2 I said to him, "You are my Lord; I have no other help but yours."
3 I want the company of the godly men and women in the land; they are the true nobility.
4 Those choosing other gods shall all be filled with sorrow; I will not offer the sacrifices they do or even speak the names of their gods.
5 The Lord himself is my inheritance, my prize. He is my food and drink, my highest joy! He guards all that is mine.
6 He sees that I am given pleasant brooks and meadows as my share! What a wonderful inheritance!
7 I will bless the Lord who counsels me; he gives me wisdom in the night. He tells me what to do.
8 I am always thinking of the Lord; and because he is so near, I never need to stumble or to fall.
9 Heart, body, and soul are filled with joy.
10 For you will not leave me among the dead; you will not allow your beloved one to rot in the grave.
11 You have let me experience the joys of life and the exquisite pleasures of your own eternal presence.
David knew where his portion was and he was confident. Can we say the same? It costs to be faithful. It costs to be faithful. It cost Abraham the yielding up of his only son. It cost Esther the risk of her own life. It cost Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being put into the fiery furnace. It cost Stephen death by stoning. It cost Paul his life but what can you say it costs you to be faithful to God?
If we set our eyes on the Lord, we can also say that in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy and as such, nothing should separate us from our love towards Him. Remember, you can be committed to church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to fellowship or church; and to lose something for the will of God is to obtain something better.
