He Has Never Forsaken You ... Unpacking the Message of Verse Psalm 9:10

Greetings,

He Has Never Forsaken You

““Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” – Psalm 9:10

Unpacking the Message of Verse Psalm 9:10

Matthew 9:13 records a deeply transformative moment in Jesus' ministry. His words, “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners,” are not just a correction to religious leaders of the day—they are a personal invitation into the heart of God. In this single statement, Jesus shifts the entire paradigm of religious behavior and brings clarity to God's priorities.

At the surface, this verse addresses the Pharisees who were criticizing Jesus for associating with tax collectors and sinners. But its weight reaches far deeper than a single conversation. Jesus is quoting Hosea 6:6, where God declares, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.” This reference reveals that what God truly values is not religious performance, but the posture of the heart—compassion over compliance, relationship over ritual.

This verse invites us to reflect on how easy it is to confuse religious activity with righteousness. We can attend church regularly, read Scripture daily, and still harbor unforgiving hearts, judgmental attitudes, and spiritual pride. Sacrifice without mercy becomes hollow. When our actions are devoid of love, they miss the mark entirely. Mercy requires vulnerability, empathy, and a deep understanding of our own need for grace. It is easier to perform rituals than to offer mercy, especially when mercy demands extending compassion to those who have wounded us or whose lifestyles challenge our own sense of righteousness.

Jesus’ words also confront a core human tendency—to draw lines between the “righteous” and the “sinners.” He came not to endorse self-righteousness, but to rescue those who recognize their spiritual poverty. The kingdom of God is not built on who looks the part, but on who receives the mercy of God. If Jesus came for sinners, then pretending to be righteous only isolates us from the grace He offers. The gospel is not for those who think they have no need; it is for those humble enough to know they do.

This verse should shift how we see others. It reframes our understanding of ministry and discipleship. Jesus is not inviting us to live sanitized lives that avoid messy people. He is calling us to go where mercy is needed most, to sit with the broken, to reach for the outcast, to forgive what seems unforgivable. Following Jesus doesn’t mean standing on the outside of someone’s pain with arms crossed. It means walking into it with arms open. This is the call to mercy.

This passage also speaks powerfully to our own spiritual journeys. Many believers spend years trying to “sacrifice” their way into God’s approval—through good works, rigorous discipline, and religious service—believing these things earn divine acceptance. But Jesus invites us to lay down the burden of performance. Mercy starts with receiving. We cannot give what we have not yet embraced. If we don’t believe God has shown us mercy, we will struggle to extend it to others. True transformation begins not when we work harder, but when we receive more deeply.

A prominent verse related to generational stewardship of money is Proverbs 13:22, which states, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children."

This verse suggests that part of being a good steward of wealth includes planning for the future and ensuring the well-being of future generations of kingdom builders. 

This verse is often cited in discussions about financial planning and legacy, it's important to remember that the Bible also emphasizes the importance of giving to those in need and being content with what one has, rather than accumulating wealth for its own sake.

The focus should be on using resources wisely and for God's glory first and foremost, NOT simply leaving a large sum of generational money. 

My mission is to serve followers of Christ through helping them become builders of His kingdom. Trading is NOT a get rich scheme, rather it's a skillset that when applied from the perspective of stewarding God's wealth and will first, proves to be incredibly fulfilling!

  "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Here is a 7-day journaling plan based on Psalm 9:10 —"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

This plan is designed to deepen your understanding of trust in God through personal reflection, prayerful honesty, and scriptural alignment. Each day's entry encourages a step toward knowing God more intimately and trusting Him more completely.

Day 1: Knowing His Name

Reflect: on what it means to “know the name of the Lord.” Write down the names of God that you are familiar with (Jehovah Jireh, El Shaddai, Adonai, etc.). Meditate on how each one reveals a part of His character. Ask God to show you more of who He is—not just through study, but through relationship.

Journal Prompt: What name of God has been most real to you lately? Why?

Day 2: The Root of Trust

Think about: what trust means to you personally. Consider your own experiences—both with trusting others and being trusted. Compare that with how you trust God. Be honest about areas where your trust feels weak or challenged.

Journal Prompt: What are some areas in your life right now where trusting God is hard? What’s influencing that?

Day 3: Remembering God's Faithfulness

Spend time recalling: times in your life when God clearly showed up—when He didn’t forsake you even if you felt abandoned for a while. Write a testimony-style entry that honors God's faithfulness to you in the past.

Journal Prompt: When has God shown He was with you—even if you didn't see it at the time?

Day 4: The Power of Seeking

Dive into what it means to seek the Lord. Seeking implies pursuit, attention, and priority. Are you actively seeking God or passively hoping He shows up? Reflect on how your daily rhythms reflect your desire to know Him.

Journal Prompt: What does seeking God look like in your current season of life? What might need to change?

Day 5: Trust vs. Control

Explore the tension between control and trust. Often, we resist trust because we crave control. Look inward and reflect on what you might be trying to manage yourself rather than surrender to God.

Journal Prompt: What area of your life do you need to release to God’s control today?

Day 6: The Witness of Trust

When others see you, do they see someone anchored in trust? Your faith is a witness. Today, reflect on how your trust (or lack thereof) influences your family, your workplace, and your community.

Journal Prompt: What kind of trust in God do you want others to see in you? How can that be strengthened?

Day 7: Never Forsaken

End the week by focusing: on the promise that God never forsakes those who seek Him. This is an absolute truth. Even when feelings betray you, His Word remains. Celebrate the security and hope that come from this promise.

Journal Prompt: Write a prayer of gratitude to God for His presence, and declare your intention to trust Him more.

Dear Beloved in Christ,

He Has Never Forsaken You

There is great comfort in knowing that our God is not distant or forgetful.

He is near, present, and unfailingly faithful.

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” – Psalm 9:10

Not watching from afar, but actively walking beside you.

Let this verse breathe peace into your heart today.

And He has never, ever forsaken those who seek Him.

Stay strong in your faith. Keep seeking. He is closer than you think.

In Christ’s love 🙏🏻
