Each one of us has been personally invited to the kingdom of God Himself! He chose us and He called (invited) us to be the guest of honor at a wedding—ours…

Psalm 19:1  'The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.'  That God is the creator is assumed!  Please notice that in Gen.1:1 and Jn.1:1 no effort is made to prove the existence of God.  Do you know that atheism is a relatively new invention of man?   Man was clearly polytheistic (many gods) from early on in civilization.  But to believe in no god was considered absurd...

Wonderfully, the theme of Psalm 17 is Jesus Christ.  Although it is not specifically a Messianic Psalm, it is a psalm that looks forward to the time when we will be able to see God face-to-face… David wrote Psalm 18 before his sin with Bathsheba.  The one thing you cannot miss is just how grateful to God David is at this point in his life.  But we know a time is coming when David will lose that sense of gratitude.  You see, a grateful man doesn't commit adultery-  Or murder.  When we lose our passion, our gratitude toward God, we are all capable of terrible sin.  I include this only as a warning to all of us here tonight.  This is when David's heart was full of God…
