Thirty-one years ago my life was being wasted; completely and absolutely wasted. I was then living a life of shame, defeat and barrenness, but I can testify that all that I now say and do are of eternal abiding value. If I do something wrong my Lord is there to correct me and chastise me and bring me back.
David suffered four great losses in his life-time, and we too as believers suffer in our life-time great losses. By the grace of God and His help David recovered all these losses. And not only what he had lost, but much more beside. We also as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, suffer many losses because of doubts and folly, blindness and defeat, but from God’s Word we can see now every spiritual loss in a believer can be recovered.
You have lost your appetite for God’s Word, lost your burden for prayer, lost your understanding of God’s Word, and you do not know to enjoy God’s Word, and you do not know how to enjoy God’s presence. You have lost many privileges in the House of God. Please tell God frankly of all your losses and then pray: ‘Now, Lord, do thou help me to recover all my losses.’ You are assured from God’s Word that you will recover much more than you have lost.
He will give you much more than you lost. But you must be honest and truthful and sincere and tell Him all about your loss. We will see from God’s Word as we study further, how David recovered his four losses, and then how we also can recover all that we have lost spiritually.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary.” Psalm.150:1.
