Psalm Nine:

This is going to be random, I was doing this while working the counter at the Pavilion.
"Let the nations know that they are but men!" God is greaty and mighty, He is supernatural, correct?

I think sometimes I forget that God is h.u.g.e. and like nothing we can know. I view him as a father, and as an intercessor, and as omnipresent. But, sadly, I often forget what He is completely capable and I get lost thinking things are too big for him. But, truth is, nothing is too big for God to conquer. Not one single thing. Which kind of leads me to the next line.

In verse four, David uses the word "maintained"
main·tain (mn-tn)

tr.v. main·tained, main·tain·ing, main·tains

1. To keep up or carry on; continue

2. To keep in an existing state; preserve or retain

3. To keep in a condition of good repair or efficiency

     a. To provide for; support

     b. To keep in existence; sustain

5. To defend or hold against criticism or attack

6. To declare to be true; affirm

7. To adhere or conform to; keep

 

That is what "maintain" means to dictionary.com, to me though, it just links me to faithfulness. In order for someone to maintain something they have to be constantly invested in preserving it, or repairing it or defending it. That is exactly what God does! He is constantly at our side, maintaining our passion, our fire, our love, our everything.

 

David says, "For you have maintained my just cause". I love that so much. He maintains our purpose, he does not allow us to veer off path or to lose sight of Him. That is incredibly really.

 

So, God is faithful.
