Charles Spurgeon said of this Psalm “It is one of the shortest Psalms to read, but one of the longest to learn.”

Christian faith needs continuous maintenance.

We get caught up with a way of life that is expected and encouraged, we have a stumbling block put right in front of us that is hard to recognize it.

To make as much as I can.
To hold onto as much as I can.
To personally enjoy as much as I can.

Many wishing to be great have failed at being good.

David has given up the things that are seen, and now he values the treasurer that is not seen, hope in The Lord both now and forever more.
