Revealing Abba in Psalm 39
| Man has said, “I will preserve my
own life; that I do not err from my way; I will keep watch over my own
tongue;” though death and destruction is ever before their eyes; They became speechless; and were blinded to even that which was beautiful, and their sorrow increased; Their hearts burned within them for life; the groaning of their heart consumed them; saying; Lord, reveal to me my end; that I might know the length of my days; when will all this hurt and sorrow end? How long until this laboring and toiling for life is cut off? Abba; let Us bring it to an end; for all the works of man are to labor without benefit; Surely all men walk in the shadow of death; they labor in vain with no ability to give themselves life; heaping up corruptible things which all perish and are useless; leaving them hopeless; And now Abba; let Us reveal the sure hope of the life they have always longed for; in Me; that all might behold and patiently wait for the same hope to be revealed in them; Deliver them from the power of sin and death; testifying in Me; that no one who trusts in You will ever be ashamed; Though man was blinded; their hearts did groan within them; and You Abba, answered; by removing the enemy death that was against them; consuming and bringing it to nothing; Abba, when You testified in Me of Your incorruptible life, free from My ability; You made foolish the corrupt wisdom of laboring for life without benefit; speaking a sure word to the hearts of all men; of Your incorruptible life free from their works; Abba, You have heard the cry and the prayers of Your beloved; and answered in Me; testifying that You will never leave them as orphans in the earth; Abba, You redeemed those who are perishing; destroying death; so that those who trust in Me and My testimony as their own, would have the sure hope of the same incorruptible life to be revealed in them. |
