Psalm 138:8
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

Application: 

David was confident that God would deliver him from danger by the power of his right hand (138:7). He pleads with God to fulfill the purpose he has for him and not to abandon him (138:8). 

We, too, can be brutally honest with God. Even while you praise him, you can ask him not to let you down—especially in times of crises—knowing that he will answer for your good and His glory.

In Psalm 138:1-6, David vows to praise God wholeheartedly because His love and truth are constant (138:1-2). The Lord exalted himself by answering David’s prayer (138:2-3). Therefore, Israel’s king desires all the kings on earth to thank God and sing of His glory (138:4-5). For He pays attention to the humble but rejects the proud (i.e., those who believe they can live their lives independently of Him) (138:6; see Jas 4:6). Believers should not be ashamed to publicly praise God before all people, whether great or small.

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
