Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies (worry, confrontation, anxiety, fear), and your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. Your mercy, oh Lord, endures forever. Psalm 138-7-8 (parenthesis mine)
“That which concerns me.” The things that cause me concern...worry over the safety and health of my loved ones; confrontations with others; anxiety over finances; fear of the future. Name your own enemies—they’re all the same, robbing us of our peace.
“That which concerns me.” Things about me, personally...my spiritual condition, my health, my direction in life.
The Lord will “perfect,” or “make perfect” all of those things. Not me....the LORD. Now that’s what I call perfection!
