We Look Forward to Christ's Return And Our Complete Salvation.

Psalm 6:1-10
What a pitiful picture: 'languishing ...troubled ...sorely troubled ...moaning ...tears ...weeping ...grief ...weak' (1-7). Transformation - Overwhelmed by evil becomes overcoming evil. ‘O Lord - how long?’ becomes ‘The Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication' (3, 8-9).

We look at our circumstances. We ask, ‘How long must this continue?’ We look at Christ’s Cross. We say, ‘He has won the victory’. His victory becomes ours, as we say, in faith, ‘the Lord accepts my prayer’ (9).

We look beyond our present circumstances to Christ’s Second Coming. When He returns, the tables will be turned. In a moment, there will be complete shame for His enemies (10; 1 Corinthians 15:25) and complete salvation for ‘those who are eagerly waiting for Him’ (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Hebrews 9:28).
