Working Out, Part 2

April 4, 2025

"Ours is a un-disciplined age. The old disciplines are breaking down. Above all, the discipline of divine grace is derided as legalism or is entirely unknown to a generation that is largely illiterate in the scriptures. We need the rugged strength of Christian character that can only come from discipline." (V. Raymond Edman) If you want to be transformed into Christ's image, there is not a short-cut around the ongoing practice of the disciplines.

What is that inner voice saying, and what am I hearing? Do I talk myself into despondency? Guilt? Failure? Is that inner voice talking lies, or truth? Somebody is always talking, whether it be self or the devil. But hopefully the Word of God is talking.

This Psalm talks about how David dealt with everything that he endured. When you read David's Psalms, there is meat to them.

Paul said in Philippians 4 that in every state he had learned to be content. It is an unfolding mystery. The great teacher or barometer of contentment is the dead-end street of discontentment.

In the subtlety of Spiritual Warfare we understand that our adversary roars as a hungry lion (1 Peter 5:8), yet the roar is usually a whisper, a quiet inclination towards a thought that is always based on a lie against truth. It may even be factual, but not full of truth. His lies may be factual in our experience, but lie against the truth of our exalted position. Thus the devil loves not just to put things in our minds, but to also keep things out!

David in this account was physically weary from travel and emotionally drained because of his son Absalom’s rebellion - when he was confronted by an angry embittered man. David displayed a quality that would wipe out most ministry personnel problems, marital issues, emotional stress and consistent self-justification. It could heal broken families; it could cure those afflicted with the disease of victimhood. It can start those who have spiritually stalled. Without this internal quality, spiritual transformation will be muted at best. David in our text reveals the great quality of meekness.

About Tim Kelley

Tim Kelley, at the age of 18, surrendered his life and heart to Jesus Christ. After receiving his degree in Biblical Studies, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida. In July of 1989 he became the senior pastor of Grace Connection Church and launched a local radio broadcast called “Grace Thoughts”, a daily radio program broadcast in the Tampa Bay region http://wtis1110.com/ and is now heard at www.oneplace.com. Pastor Kelley is now in his 33th year in public ministry here in the Tampa Bay area. He is an avid sports fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and the Boston Celtics. As you may have guessed, our pastor grew up in New England in the Plymouth Mass. area. Pastor Kelley’s two greatest and heartfelt passions are teaching and preaching a clear gospel of God’s grace and its impact in our daily lives, as well as his love and compassion for people (even if they are not New England Fans).  Pastor Kelley has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a second Masters in Counseling, graduating in May 2013.  He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 27 years, Peggy. They have one child at home, Sadie Lynne.  Their beautiful daughter Hannah Grace, in February 2012, went home to be with the Lord, due to a firearm mishap after a church service. Pastor Kelley and Peggy have started the Hannah Grace Foundation in memory of their daughter, which raises funds for the housing, care and education of children and young adults, here locally in the Tampa Bay region, throughout America as well as the third world.
