The
Psalmist prays, ‘Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord’ (Psalm 143:9). He
is not concerned only about his own welfare. He is concerned about the
glory of God: ‘For Your Name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life’
(Psalm 143:11). How does God lead us in victory? How is He glorified in
our lives? He brings to us the teaching of His Word - ‘Let the morning bring me Word of Your unfailing love’ (Psalm 143:8). He gives to us the strength of His Spirit
- ‘May Your good Spirit lead me in good paths’ (Psalm 143:10). Through
His Word and Spirit, God shows us His ‘unfailing love’. He enables us to
say, ‘You are my God’, ‘I have put my trust in You’ and ‘I am Your
servant’. He ‘shows us the way we should go’. He ‘teaches us to do His
will’. He gives us victory over our ‘enemies’ (Psalm 143:8,10,12).
