Psalms 70-71 reveals a man who wants God to be his protector and a man whose lips find God's praise constantly on them. The author remembers how God was with him when he was young (71:17) yet the author begs God to remain with him when he is old (71:9. 18). David was the author who wrote these psalms. He wanted to make sure the next generation was told of God's marvelous deeds (71:18). How about you? Do you see how God has been with you in the past and do you beg for his presence in the future? Do you want to make sure the next generation receives the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ? David made many mistakes yet in these psalms, we can see why God calls him a man after my own heart.
When reading Romans 8:28, we often leave off the part "for those who love God." Those who love God are those who obey His commands (John 14:15). If we do not obey God's commands, things do not always go so well.
