The Facets of Faith

Text:"Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust . . . Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore" Psalm 16:1, 11

Thought: This hymn of David is called “Michtam,†which can be interpreted to mean “a Psalm to be hung up or inscribed on a pillar to commemorate victory.†What is more significant is the fact that these eleven verses are Messianic and depict our Savior’s triumph, both in life and death. The psalm depicts three facets of faith. (See Acts 2:28, Heb. 13:20).
