A Proper Perspective
Ps 30:7
7 O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
NASU
The author, David, understood the importance and necessity of proper perspective in his relationship to God. God first. Humility helps us to not only deflect attention away from ourselves but toward God. Notice the Divine order in the above verse, written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. O Lord: a cry from the heart reflecting liberty in his love for God. By your favor: the action motivating God's power on behalf of David is God's undeserved love for him. You have made: all credit ascribed to God. My mountain to stand strong: lastly, that which pertains to our need is provided by God to whom this psalm of praise is directed.
