The David Spoon Experience 5-10-23 Part 1
A) The Lord sees; the Lord hears. The Lord is “on” it. He sees everything you see. Think about this; everything YOU see with your eyes, God also sees that simultaneously. Remember, He is omniscient. Think about this; everything YOU hear with your eyes, God also hears simultaneously. Remember, He is omniscient.
B) He delivers them from ALL their troubles: How many? All. How many is all? Every. Is every all? Yes. It does not say that God helps us avoid all the troubles. That is Fantasy-Land and a false Gospel. The promise is that God gets us THROUGH the troubles.
C) Broken heart, contrite spirit: Remember being yielded and broken? This is a verse that I should have included. A broken heart is moldable. A contrite spirit is yielded. But in this context, God promises to be close to and save those with this going on. But He will also use this to strengthen us in Him.
D) Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But that doesn’t matter. Oops. I mean, it does matter that MANY are the afflictions. But it doesn’t matter how many because none of them will stop us, with Him, in Him, through Him, and because of Him.
