‘Truth for Truckers’*February 16, 2014* Psalm 16 “I
shall not be moved”
This bold statement from David is not only
comforting, but it is the title of an old Spiritual Song of the same name. “I
shall, I shall, I shall not be moved” is one section of this song that my
parents sang as we drove down the highway in the 1940’s and 50’s and every time
the 16th of the month rolls around this song enters into my mind and
I begin singing the lyrics found in this 3,000 year old Psalm/song by David!
But the reason “I shall not be moved [shaken]” depends on the first part of the
verse: “I have set the LORD always before
me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved [shaken]”. (Psalm
16:8). Setting the LORD/Jehovah before us is the key. Having Him at our
right hand guarantees un-shakable guidance and fellowship as we walk in the
Light throughout our day. So, how, exactly, do we set the LORD before us? This
is a supernatural work which must be accomplished by faith as we begin our day
in the Word, praying for the LORD to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Remember, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
But, before the filling we must be emptied
and all it takes is confession of any known sin which brings about the
cleansing power of the Blood of Christ according to I John 1:7-9 “But if we walk in the Light as He is in the
Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the Truth is not in us. If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Now, the clean vessel is ready to be
filled with the Holy Spirit and that is another act of faith as we ask in the
powerful name of Jesus we must believe that the LORD will do what He promised: “How much more shall your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? (Luke 11:13). The we must believe
that the LORD will go (Deuteronomy 1:30) before us and walk with us at our
right hand and the old Spiritual Song will hold true: “I shall, I shall, I shall not be moved.
I shall, I shall,
I shall not be moved.
Just like the tree planted by the water,
I shall not be moved”.
Hey,
Drivers, listen to the attached New Song for today and learn this old Spiritual
Song as you sing the Scripture/Psalm to the LORD!.
