Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word Ford today, Pastor Chuck continues with a

Psalm of trusting the Lord as we pick up in Psalm chapter 31 verse one and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck let's turn now in our Bibles to Psalm 31.

This 31st Psalm is actually divided into three sections.

The first one covering the first eight verses, the second one covering versus nine through 18, and then the final section from 19 to the end of the song. In the first

section of the Psalm with David it's sort of a mixture between trust and trial. In the

next section the trial is overcome by the trust.

And then in the final section, it is the triumph of the trusting in the Lord.

So the first section through verse 8, the trusting and the trials.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust?

Let me never be ashamed, deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me, deliver me speedily, be thou my strong rock for a house of defense to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress, therefore for thy namesake lead me and guide me.
