Psalms 31:3-5 (ESV Strong's)
3 For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
I Commit My Spirit
Verse five in the above section was uttered by Jesus just before He took His last gasp of breath on the cross. Jesus commuted Himself to the Father. The truth that these verses provide is encouraging as we fast the day. Those who have God s their rock and fortress CAN commit their spirit to the Lord, knowing full well He cares for them. Those who commit their spirits to the Lord, make God their rock and fortress. The reason for all this is that God “redeemed” the writer. When we know that we have been giving redemption we can rejoice in our Savior’s love and in His care. Committing your spirit into God’s hands is to give Him you body, soul, heart and mind. You are asking Him to shape it and maintain it and sustain it. Jesus in His death needed to give His spirit to the Father because only the Father would be able to keep Him. Because He was God the Son, Jesus overcame death. God can handle our spirit!!!
