Good morning. Listen, I’m going to get started promptly here because it’s a beautiful, spectacular verse and I’m I’m going to find it hard to keep myself from reading the few verses after it. So, I hope you bear with me on this. And that is on Wednesday, November 26th. That is today 3:30.
Day 3:30 and 35 days remaining. It’s Psalm 18 verse 33. Now I’m saying Psalm 18:33, but the entire Psalm of Psalm 18 will blow your mind. You’ve got to read the whole thing. I’ll I’ll give you a reason why in a moment. I’ll give you a little teaser. But this is our prayer verse for today. Psalm 1833. And this is it.
He makes me or he makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me on high places. And read that again. Psalm 18:33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me on high places. So family, listen. before we pray this this this verse that the psalmist is announcing to us, he’s saying to us and he I wonder if you’ve he I’m certain I can’t prove it but I’m I’m wondering if the psalmist would observe the um the deer the um ibecks for example.
Israel has this spectacular, I mean spectacular, awesome uh animal. It’s like a deer, but it’s also like an elk. But one thing is certain, it is the craziest thing to see on the side of a cliff. I’ve seen this in Israel and in the Middle East many times. And this an hole is amazing. And it’s like, “Oh my goodness, this dude’s going to fall a thousand feet to his death.
” Nope. I don’t know how they do it, but this is what the psalmist has in mind. The Lord makes my feet like the feet of the deer or ibecks. He sets me on high places. The high places are obviously high elevated places, steep places. But the word the scripture also also means here, he sets my feet on high places.
Those high places are extremely extremely steep and narrow. And it’s miracle how you see these things jump around. God has promised to do that to you. Remember, the Lord is not a respector of persons. The Bible tells us God doesn’t love King David more than he loves you. He doesn’t love um you know some great saint more than you.
He doesn’t love fill in the blank because it’s a human tendency to think well surely God is pleased with that Christian’s life or that Christian’s life more than mine. Look, how you and I are walking with him, that is something that is a variable because of our disobedience, because of our stubbornness. This has nothing to do with that.
