Psalm 139:5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Have you ever felt trapped? David did. Psalm 139, he says, You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
That may sound like a bad thing. That may sound like David’s not too happy about the situation, but it’s the exact opposite because David felt confined or trapped into righteousness. David said God was protecting him and hedging him in and had his hand on him.
You might feel trapped by others, but you ought to feel protected when the Lord keeps you in the path of righteousness.
Psalm 139:2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
What does God know about you? Oh, he knows many things.
David says in Psalm 139, You know, my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
Have you given thought to the fact that God knows you inside and out — your actions and your words and your thoughts before you ever think them?
Be sure to be right before God. Love him and obey him, for he knows you.

How can you have strength in hard times? You could have strength in hard times by seeking the Lord.
David in a song says this, in First Chronicles Chapter 16,
Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvelous works, which he has done his wonders and the judgments of his mouth.
We need to be those who seek the Lord and his strength in times of difficulty.
1 Chronicles 16:10-11 – Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

What should cause your heart to rejoice?
What should cause you to be happy? What should cause you to know that there’s value and purpose in life?
David says it’s seeking The Lord in first Chronicles Chapter 16, we read,
Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face evermore.
Glory in his name (verse 10) Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord.
Ephesians 4:30 – And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Transcript:
Are you sealed with the Holy Spirit? Paul says in Ephesians Chapter four, Verse 30. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Paul says that the part of the work of the Holy Spirit is to seal you. That’s the idea of a signet ring and hot wax to put a seal on something, and the Holy Spirit claims you belong to God, if you’re a Christian — if you have obeyed the gospel.
Have you obeyed the Gospel and put Christ on in Baptism today?

In Ephesians, chapter five, we’re commanded to sing psalms and hymns and to encourage one another and to give thanks to the Lord.
