Watching over your Soul
David Falk
I have observed that King David, the great psalmist, constantly talked about his soul. He wrote concerning the Lord, ‘He restores my soul’. Psa 23:3. He also recognised, ‘My enemy has persecuted my soul’. Psa 143:3. The literal translation of this verse means, ‘My enemy has pursued my soul’. And the outcome for David was devastating. To say an enemy has ‘pursued my soul’ is not language that we use today. You are more likely to come home from work and say, ‘They attacked me’ or ‘I feel under threat’. Nevertheless, the imperative to keep watch over your soul is the same as it was for the great psalmist.
