Psalm 10—God’s Justice Delayed in not Justice Denied (Blog)Download

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.

    Daily Encouragement

    By Jason Snider

    Psalm 10 lays out the scenario of the arrogant and evil doer prospering while the helpless, the fatherless, and poor are taken advantage of by the wicked.

    It’s obviously coming from the perspective of the poor and needy. As difficult as it is, he is praying to the Lord. But the wicked say there is no God. The fatherless wonders where God is in all of this.

    He says at one point: Psalm 10:10–11 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
    and fall by his might.
    He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
    he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

    In other words, as the psalm began he wants to know why the Lord hides himself in times of trouble.

    It can seem to us that God is high above in the heavens and cares not about the troubles of our lives. The problem with that thought is that God simply cannot be that way. He cannot go on vacation or go to some distant galaxy to remove himself from his creation. If he is not sustaining it every second then this world will cease to exist.

    The needy man finally comes to his senses and acknowledges this. Psalm 10:14 But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,
    that you may take it into your hands;
    to you the helpless commits himself;
    you have been the helper of the fatherless.

    Like the fatherless, we live in the desert in which we must trust and depend on the Lord everyday. We live here and not in the heavenly city that we might learn to trust the Lord. Life is a test. We have opportunities all day to believe or not.

    Some of those troubles will not come to an end until the end. We must trust that the Lord will make everything right in the end. But for now we must trust the Lord to do this while we wait: Psalm 10:17  O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear.
