Psalm 30

The introduction to this psalm indicates that David wrote it to be sung at the dedication of the temple. We know that God refused to give David the privelege of building the temple. But David did make most of the preperations for its construction and operation. This psalm indicates that David was the creative force behind the dedication celebration over which Solomon presided. I wonder if David taught his son and the Levite singers the words of this song? This song is an indication of the faith by which David lived. He was so confident in God's word of a son to rule after him and build the temple that David went all out in his preperation. Even though he knew that his physical eyes would never see the completed work he acted. His acts in faith became the foundation upon which generations of his children would worship God Almighty. That is the fruit of seeking God with all of your heart.
It took me about 1 minute to read this psalm.
