What I would have you to understand at the outset of our study, here this morning, is that this verse 8 was never fulfilled perfectly by King David, or by any of God's dear people. But it was fulfilled perfectly by our Lord Jesus Christ on your behalf, as a believer in Him. He was the One who “set the Lord always before Him”. He was the One who “was not moved” at all the things which came upon Him in relation to doing and accomplishing everything necessary to purchase our great salvation. And Christ purchased this marvelous grace for us at the cross so that we ourselves, who believe in Him, should be able to set the Lord before us; and as a result of that, we also should never be moved. This will be a fitting topic for our consideration as we come to the table of our Lord this morning: What did it mean for Christ to set the Lord always before Him? And what does it mean for us to do the same? I believe that there are 3 thoughts from these verses which we should consider. 1st – To set the Lord always before Him, our Lord Jesus received His Father's counsel. (Verse 7) 2nd – To set the Lord before Him, our Lord Jesus consciously and deliberately and continually sought the Father's presence and help, and the Spirit's presence and help, in order to keep all of the commandments of God. 3rdly -The Lord Jesus set the Father before Him by declaring His faith in the sure hope of His own resurrection. (Verse 9) I pray that these precious truths will strengthen your heart and your faith today, so that you will indeed live them out in your life.
