Good fellowship – Psalm 16:3
God’s people are not perfect, but we should delight in their fellowship and not in the fellowship of the world’s crowd [2 Cor. 6:4-18]. The world needs our witness, but we must take care not start loving the world [1 John 2:15-17].
Good heritage – Psalm 16:5
Not just God’s gifts, but God Himself! What a joy it is to let God choose your inheritance for you instead of acting like the world and fighting for you “place in the sun.”
Good counsel – Psalm 16:7
God gives wisdom if you will ask Him [James 1:5]. God teaches you in the darkness as well as in the light. These verses are summarized in Matthew 6:33
Good hope – Psalm 16:8
This passage is one of the few in the Old Testament dealing with resurrection. It refers to the resurrection of Christ [Acts 2:22-32], and that is what gives us our hope [ 1 Peter 1:3].
God’s ears – Psalm 17:2
The enemy opposed David’s just cause, so he cried out to God for vindication. David’s prayer was sincere, and he wanted God to judge righteously.
God’s eyes – Psalm 17:3
David had nothing to hide. His heart was right and his walk was righteous. You must be able to say the same of your heart and walk if you expect God to answer your prayers [Psalm 66:18].
God’s hand – Psalm 17:6
David trusted not his own hand but the hand of God to protect him and to defeat the enemy. The pride of the enemy grieved David because he wanted God alone to be glorified.
God’s likeness – Psalm 17:15
God has in mind this goal when He permits you to go through trials: He wants to make you more like His Son [Rom. 8:29. 2 Cor. 3:18]. Although this verses may refer to future resurrection [1 John 3:1-3; see also 1 Cor. 15:49], it can be applied to life today. Our Lord goes with us into the furnace so that we may be more like Him when we come out of it [Dan. 3:19-25].
