What To Do...What To Do?

Psalms 89:1
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

Have you ever been faced with the situation of what to do or which way to go? If you're anything like me you face this on a daily basis. Sometimes it is so difficult to know what to do that all I can do is bow on my knees and ask God for the guidance. Maybe this morning you are facing a mountain situation and you are struggling with which path to choose. Let me say this... Pray. Just be honest and open with the Lord and ask Him for the wisdom that you need.

When this Psalm was written it was during one of Israel's worse times. King David had committed adultery, committed murder and now his very own son, Absalom, was fighting against him. His family, his kingdom and his heart was in a million pieces. Because of his sin and the sins of his sons, trying to figure out what to do isn't coming easy to him. It is much like our families, nation and friends today. We find ourselves saying, "What to do...what to do?"

David made a decision in his heart. He said, "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord..." I don't know of any other thing to do than to sing of the mercy of the Lord. Notice how long David determined to sing of this... "forever". Have you made that decision? No matter what happens, no matter what bridges, no matter what valleys, no matter what sin, no matter what situation... Will you sing of the mercy of my Lord forever?

Because David made a decision with his heart to sing of the Lord he made actions with his mouth to make known the faithfulness of God unto all generations. How could someone who was going through so much difficulties say something like this? Because David finally stopped relying on himself and said, "What to do...what to do? I know! I'll thank God for his forgiving mercy and trust His faithfulness through this storm."
