Psalm 10
1 Why, O LORD, do you stand far off?Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
King David felt that God seems very far away, even he was doubt about this but he didnt stop praying and trusting in God. This is faith , this is trust , he was not complaining but he asked god for help.
This remind me of when we feel alone or depress or upset or helpness, we need to keep praying , have this faith like david, keep trusing god, keep rely on god, be honest and tell God about our troubles, and what we are going though. He is the most powerful and most lovely father for us , he will listen to his children's story and he is willing to help us if we ask him.
I dont know what you are going though but I trust that God is there for you, he knows what you are going though and he also waiting you to come to him and share your story with him, he is your best friend , he also is your heavenly father. He loves you so much that he will surely give you strength and help you walk though this challenges or emotional period.
I am facing some challenges like financial, jobs, I used to feel that God was so far away as well, I will ask God sometime like "God, why the blessing is not here yet ?" but at the same time , i can sense that the blessing is just around the corner, I can actually feel it is coming, and it has a great purpose in it, and I will be just so blessed after I receive and know this purpose. Today after this reading , my faith is raise up again, I am going to trust God, and do what David did , trust god and also keep praying and tell him about my trouble :) . I am sure God will answer and he will surely take good care of his beloved children.
4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 His ways are always prosperous;
he is haughty and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me;
I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
I love what it says about these scriptures in the study bible.
" Some people succeed in everything they do, and they brag that no one , not even god, can kepp them down. We may wonder why God allows these people to smass great wealth while they despise him as they do. But Why are we upset when the wicked prosper? are we angry about the damage they are doing or just jealous of their success? To answer these questions we must gain the right perspective on wickedness and wealth. The wicked will surely be punished because God hates their evil deeds. Wealth is only temporary, it is not necessarily a sign of God's approval on person's life; nor is lack of it a sign of god's disapproval. Dont let wealth or lack of it become your obsession."
Amen to that, God has spoken a lot in message to me , some time I will judge or get jealous at some people's wealth, but yeah as wealth is only temporary , and we should not let wealth or lack of it beclome our obsession, if so then it is easily like the scripture says " there is no room for God", I will need to seek his kingdom as my most important task, to have his daily bread every day :) .
