Meditate on verse 19.
When my
anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your
consolations delight my soul.
The psalmist
asked God questions which you may also have asked:
·
LORD,
how long will the wicked exult (v. 3)?
·
He who
planted the ear, does He not hear; He who formed the eye, does He not see (v.
9)?
·
He who
chastens the nations and teaches man knowledge, will He not rebuke (v. 10)?
·
Who
will stand up for me against evildoers and those who do wickedness (v. 16)?
·
Can a
throne of destruction and mischief be allied with the LORD (v. 20)?
When you ask God questions, listen for His
answers:
·
A pit
is dug for the wicked (v. 13).
·
The
LORD will not abandon His people (v. 14).
·
Judgment
will again be righteous for the upright in heart to follow (v. 15).
·
The
LORD is your help, and His lovingkindness will hold you up (vs. 17-18).
·
The
LORD is your stronghold and rock of refuge (v. 22).
·
The
LORD your God will bring wickedness back on the wicked and
destroy them in
their evil (v. 23).
Be consoled by the LORD and His Word and
pray Psalm 94:17-19 and 22 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as
a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, You are _________ and my help! Our souls will not dwell in the
abode of silence. When our feet slip, Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold us
up.
When our anxious thoughts multiply within us, Your consolations delight
our souls. LORD, You are our stronghold, and God, You are the Rock of our
refuge, Jesus~”
