HELLO TEAM SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT! Psalms 44:19-22 19) Yet you have crushed us in the jackal’s desert home. You have covered us with darkness and death. 20) If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread our hands in prayer to foreign gods, 21) God would surely have known it, for he knows the secrets of every heart. 22) But for your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep. APPLICATION 44:9-22 Israel had been defeated despite their faith (44:17) and obedience (44:18) to God. The psalm writer could not understand why God allowed this to happen, but he did not give up hope of discovering the answer (44:17-22). Although he felt his suffering was undeserved, he revealed the real reason for it: He suffered because he was committed to the Lord. Paul quoted the psalm writer’s complaint (Romans 8:36) to show that we must always be ready to face death for the cause of Christ. Thus, our suffering may not be a punishment but a battle scar that demonstrates our loyalty. HAVE A VICTORIOUS THURSDAY!
