Psalm 86

It only took a couple of moments to read this psalm attributed to David. There are a few times when the word bodatious fits a situation; I think this is one of those times. In verse 17 David makes a bodatious request of God Almighty; "Show the world how much you love me." We have one display for all of the world to see, which is Jesus on the cross. But would God single out his people to display his grace and favor on them as individuals? He might. He single out Abraham, and still today shows his favor towards his descendant in the flesh and in the spirit. There have been thousands of individual Christians who have stood victorious against all odds, I believe of the bodatious request that David made. If we make the same bodatious request, in the right circumstances, God will make his favor for his people clear. Though it may not be in a way we expect.
