In our sermon text, Psalm 39, today, David calls out to God to relent from rebuking him. He knows that he
deserves a rebuke but he has been honest with God about his sins. Instead of
running from God, he runs to God, seeking God’s favor.
David had lost strength both through
his own sins and through the stratagems of his enemies. But now he calls upon
God so that he may recover strength.
This meal is about strength. We have
been weak. We have sinned. Our enemies, the world, the flesh and the devil have
worn us down. But God has forgiven us in Christ. He has raised us with Jesus
and He strengthens us with might in the inner man. This food and drink is so
that you may recover strength. Eat and drink and be strong in the Lord.
