Fortified Positions – Psalm 62

Preacher:
Passage: Psalm 62
Service Type:

Man by virtue of his rebellion against God (since original sin became the universal human experience), has been interested in moral ambiguity, blurry lines, grey areas, undefined ethical distinctions, and neutral ground. He imagines if such is the case with the nature of things, than he can be like God and form his own universe out of the chaotic elements of his own experience. He can provide definition and meaning in his own image. He can predestine the future according to his own will and he can be like God knowing and defining good and evil. The Word of God is the most hated body of proposition given this predisposition of sinful men because it opposes this notion with the hammer of divine absolutes on every page. The Word of God slaps the face of the drunken sinner with the sobering reality of the sovereignty of the Almighty Creator, His personal interaction with His creation, and His exclusive way of salvation. Palm 62 prepares us with the tools of meditation and worship to fortify our own position as believers in a world of unbelief. David underscores the nature of our foundation and our fight as he sings this powerful and pointed anthem.
