Carl Helmuth – Psalm 141
By: Carl Helmuth
Series: The Psalms
Psalm 141
David prayed with an attitude of:
- Desperation - from seeing his situation accurately.
- Dependency - from seeing his own power accurately.
- Being more concerned with the evil inside of him than the evil of the people around him.
- Having a greater fear of God than of man.
- God’s concerns came first – then his.
David prayed for sanctification:
- That the LORD would guard the words of his mouth.
- By the grace of God.
- That the LORD would not draw his heart to evil. (that He would restrain the evil within me)
- Knowing he needed God’s grace inwardly.
- Knowing that deeds come from the heart.
- That the LORD would keep him from evil people and their worldly pleasures.
- That he would not be associated with them.
- That he would not love what they love.
- That the LORD would use righteous men to “strike” him with loving correction, rather than be counted with the wicked.WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Jul 25, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 73By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The PsalmsPsalm 73Teachable Themes of Psalm 73 - God’s providence is constant, yet rarely understood by the human mind and reason. God’s people will sometimes doubt, but He always upholds them. - We will never know truth by seeing it; rather by only trusting in divine revelation. - Our evaluation of all things is incomplete without holding it up to the backdrop of eternity. - Meeting regularly to worship God in His sanctuary (church) produces clarity in the battle between truth and lie. - Envy is a temptation that is disarmed by being satisfied in the Lord. - Because God truly is good to His people.

Jun 27, 2021Carl Helmuth – Psalm 16By: Carl HelmuthSeries: The PsalmsPsalm 16Verse 2 - David recognizes: “You, LORD are my Master.” “I am the Your servant.”Verse 2 - David recognizes: “The LORD is all-sufficient within Himself. Plus, I have no good of which I could bring to Him.” “I petition Him only because of His loving kindness. I cannot give Him anything in exchange to earn it.” This is grace through faith alone.Verse 3 - David recognizes: While the LORD is all-sufficient, He loves His people. He does delight in His people. “I also love, serve and delight in His people.”Verse 4 - David recognizes: “There is only one God who is worthy of my worship. You alone have power to grant my request. In You alone is joy.” “I will not turn to any other.”
