"A Sick Man's Prayer"

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David] PSALMS 41
So here we are at the last Psalm of the BOOK ONE, and I have to assume that whoever put these Psalms in order, had to have been instructed in doing them just as they are; whether that be Ezra, or whomever, the thing that I find most interesting, is that we end here being "sick". It's true you know, we are all sick; each and every one of us that are packed here upon this ball called Earth, have some sort of sickness, in one way or another; and so it shall be until we are taken home to be with the Lord. We can never come to the place in this life where we think we have arrived to complete security and healthiness; because as soon as we think that time has come for us, then we have taken our trust off of God and placed that trust in our own strength. As we leave off of Psalms 40, having come to the conclusion that we are "poor and needy", even though we are delivered from death into life, we still must suffer through trials and tribulations of this world; and even though we are no longer of this world, we must still journey through this life, dependent upon God to get us through each and every day of it, and safely home on the other side. Those that are of the world might look at our need for God as a crutch, as if we are crippled and in need of someone to help us through life because we cannot do this on our own; yet, if you really wanted to try and explain our condition, we are in need of a wheelchair or a gurney, because a crutch still allows us to walk in our own strength. To be completely seated in Christ, we must be completely seated in Christ; every area of our life must be entrusted into His care, and every area of our life must have Him as Lord. We can not let Him be Lord over our family and our home, but we are the one who runs the business or our lives outside of the home; each and every part of our lives are still our lives, and we will be held accountable for every part of it. Basically, what it truly comes down to is giving God all areas of our lives, and in doing so, we can really understand His rest, and known what His rest feels like; a feeling that requires complete surrender to His will and protection for our lives... "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto was the gospel preached, as well as unto them (those in the wilderness): but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as He said, As I have sworn in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundations of the world." (Hebrews 4:1-3)
