Seeing God's Goings - Psalms 68:24

In Psalms chapter sixty eight David said, “The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea. That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same”, and in chapter sixty-eight and verse twenty-four of Psalms David said, “they have seen your goings, O God” where we read,

They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

The verse begins, They have seen your goings, O God; David began with the words, “they have seen” or “they, Jehovah God's enemies, have observed, beheld, perceived and discerned” “your goings” which means “your, Jehovah God's, doings, travelings, marching and walking”, “O God” or “O Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God”. David said Jehovah God's enemies have observed His ways as the Divine judge.

The verse continues,even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. David added the words, “even the goings” or “indeed and also the doings, travelings, marching and walking” “of my God” which means “belonging to my, David's, Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God”, “my King” or “my, David's, royal ruler”, “in the sanctuary” which means “within the holy, sacred, separate, consecrated and hallowed place”. David said the enemies of Jehovah God observed the doings and ways of Him, who was David's royal ruler, within the sacred and holy worship place.

When we consider the words in this verse, we notice through David how the enemies of Jehovah God observe His ways especially when He performs His acts within His sacred worship place. God manifests Himself in such a way that anyone wanting to discover Him will have no problem doing so. People are separated from God because of the sin in their lives, and He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we yield our lives to Him, He will forgive our sins and grant us everlasting life. We may be assured that the enemies of Jehovah God are watching, and they shall observe Him within His sacred worship place and in the lives who have been changed by Him.

Next time David shares about, “singers” and “instruments”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
