PSALM 44: A PRAYER IN TIMES OF DEFEAT

PSALM 44: A PRAYER IN TIMES DEFEAT ======================================== A Petition for Succour and Relief Former experiences of God's power and goodness are strong supports to faith, and powerful pleas in prayer under present calamities. The many victories Israel obtained, were not by their own strength or merit, but by God's favour and free grace. This is applicable to the planting of the Christian church in the world, which was not by any human policy or power. The believer must have times of temptation, affliction, and discouragement; the church must have seasons of persecution. At such times the people of God will be ready to fear that he has cast them off, and that his name and truth will be dishonoured. But they should look above the instruments of their trouble, to God, well knowing that their worst enemies have no power against them, but what is permitted from above. In afflictions, we must not seek relief by any sinful compliance; but should continually meditate on the truth, purity, and knowledge of our heart-searching God. Hearts sins and secret sins are known to God, and must be reckoned for. He knows the secret of the heart, therefore judges of the words and actions. While our troubles do not drive us from our duty to God, we should not suffer them to drive us from our comfort in God. Let us take care that prosperity and ease do not render us careless and lukewarm. The church of God cannot be prevailed on by persecution to forget God; the believer's heart does not turn back from God. The Spirit of prophecy had reference to those who suffered unto death, for the testimony of Christ. Observe the pleas used, verses 25,26. Not their own merit and righteousness, but the poor sinner's pleas. None that belong to Christ shall be cast off, but every one of them shall be saved, and that for ever. The mercy of God, purchased, promised, and constantly flowing forth, and offered to believers, does away every doubt arising from our sins; while we pray in faith, Redeem us for thy mercies' sake. https://www.christianity.com/bible/co... ======================================== BACKGROUND MUSIC _Calvary_Emotional and Soul Lifting Gospel Instrumental www.youtu.be/iq8fP9Cd_Ww ======================================== FACEBOOK   / riverofword   TELEGRAM https://www.t.me/riverofword TWITTER   / river_words   INSTAGRAM   / riverofwords00   ======================================== Solomon Apagu Fidelis River of Words
