Title: The Assurance of the Anointing

February 20 Psalm 28 <The Assurance of the Anointing>
Read the words entitled Psalms of David. Sometimes, from the very beginning, he appears praising God brightly, but today's words show how hard his life is. Of course, because of such a thing, I can bow my head before God, but I don't think I can kneel down because I have good faith. We may think that such a thing is an opportunity and a blessing for us, but it is difficult to believe in it. However, he is a person who believes well, and even though he has worked hard and worked hard enough to be recognized by himself, sometimes things happen that he thinks that he will end up like this, as if he is going down to the grave. In today's sermon, David shows how to pray in times like these.
This time on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I would say that it is the footsteps of Christianity. When you enter such buildings, there are many vestiges of the times of Muslim rule, and there are still places where people prayed toward Saudi Arabia, known as the Mecca of Muslims. A sign is placed towards that side, and when they say they always pray, they pray in what can be called their holiest place. Don't these Muslims pray 5 times a day? I pray wherever I have time, and I always pray toward Saudi Arabia. As we see in the Bible, Daniel prays with the window on the side of Jerusalem open. If you can come, you should come out and worship. It may be because it is life, but it is true that it is life. In any situation, there is no other way than to come and kneel before God.
And from verses 6 to 9. Until now, I have been complaining about difficult and difficult things, and this may happen because of my fault, but I prayed for forgiveness instead of giving it all at once, and now the voice of victory turns into a voice of victory. This is quite different from verse 1. He said that he did not hear me even when I prayed, but now he has heard my prayers. It means that praying has been answered. I hope you have this kind of faith, feeling, and certainty. It is the assurance that God will surely hear my prayers. I pray because it's too hard and frustrating, but it's a blessing that I have nothing more to pray because I'm already in it and you know me. The beauty of faith is that sighs disappear and only joy and praise come out. As we worship and listen to the Word, we must have confidence in the answer and the anointing. God will take charge of everything in my life. While worshiping according to the seasons and living like this, I am incompetent and confused, but I believe that God is leading me.
