Ps. 31 - Always trust in God! Notice the dying words of Christ, "Into your hands I commit my spirit."

Ps. 32 - Only when we confess our sins can we experience real joy. Perhaps David was thinking of his sin with Bathsheba (II Samuel 11-12)

Ps. 33 - Sing and rejoice!

Ps. 34 - God answers us and delivers us when we are in trouble.

Ps. 35 - A pray for God's intervention and vengeance upon enemies.

What can we learn from these verses?

1. Jesus said, "Into your hands I commit my spirit." (Luke 23:46) Stephen said "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." (Acts 7:59) Commit yourself to God completely so that living or dying you will be
with Christ.
2. "My times are in your hands." God is in control. God has a plan.
3. God wants to instruct us and teach us the way to go. God will counsel us and watch over us if we are not too stubborn to listen.
4. To fear the Lord means to respect, honor and worship God. Obey God's commands.
5. Praise God no matter what is happening in your life.
6. God hears every prayer and answers according to God's will and wisdom. Sometimes God spares us from greater suffering by not granting our requests.

Prayer: God help me to put my life into your hands and trust you for all things. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
