Here are a couple of applications and connections I saw in my reading the following morning:

A simple but profound response to the message yesterday (Psalm 10) would be this:

Luke 6:47-48

[47] Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: [48] he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

-Come to Christ through the word

-Hear Christ by the Holy Spirit 

-Act/respond to Christ that we may endure by faith to the end no matter what may come.

I ran across another clear connection to Psalm 10 sermon in my reading. 

Philippians 4:10-13

[10] I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. [11] Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be content. [12] I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. [13] I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

One reason God pulls away and doesn’t intervene in every problem is for us to learn how to be content in every situation and then realize that he is the one who strengthens us to get through them. 

But why? Because we are aliens and strangers in this world. This is not our home. Our citizenship is in heaven and we await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Okay, but do I need to learn to be content in every circumstance to go to heaven? If the only people who go to heaven are those who believe, then yes. 

Well, you might say. I have believed. Well I might add, if you only believed (past tense) then you cannot have the promises of God. Why? Because it’s very clear that we must believe to the end and the amazing thing about that is, by God’s grace he has kept you in the faith by not intervening in every trouble that comes along so that you may learn to be content (or in accordance with my 3rd point in the sermon—Yes, Lord) or trust him no matter what comes your way.
