DISCUSSION TOPIC:
I Will Yet Praise Him

BIBLE READING:
Psalm 43:1-5


Qs. 2. See Questions HERE.


DISCUSSION:

It is said that if a parent says, 'help me discipline my child', it is hardly from deep within him /her. Should you mishandle the child, you will face the wrath of the same parent. God on few occasions did send his children, the Israelites, into exile as a punishment for their sins, using other nations to discipline them. However, he does not condone any mishandling by captors. The Psalmist appeals to his God against his captors. Notice the basis of his plea for vindication in vs. 1-2a. When we are going through such a confused state, the only hope we have is in our God.

Read and meditate on vs. 3-4 and note the route we must take to earn our money and God's discipline through our enemies (v. 2b). God's word is the source of light and truth. When we know and follow the truth, we are set free (John 8:31-32) - free from worrying about our lives and free to fully trust the Lord for today and the future (v. 5). Let us learn to cast our cares upon the Lord because He is caring and mindful of all that concerns us (1 Pet. 5:7).


What next?

Whenever we find ourselves in a hopeless situation and feel that God does not care, and uncertain what to do, let us, like the Psalmist, call on God to send us his light to guard us. He will not fail us.


Prayer:

Lord, send me your light and truth, and help me to do whatever you desire of me.

Even when he reprimands us, he still cares that we are not hurt. He just cares above all and in every situation He deserves our praises.

Thanks for your input @prettyrose.

The unalloyed care that God avails us is amazing. Even when in discipline, He still cares and thus deserves our praises.

We appreciate your contribution @uyobong. Remain blessed.

Thank you @scripture-union
