The experiencing of suffering under God's discipline benefits us in many ways. First we recall the power, knowledge and greatness of God. Two occur in psalm 74:vv 12-17 For God is my king from of old , working salvation in the midst of the earth. You divided the sea by You strength; You beoke the heads of the sea serpents in the water. You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up many rivers. The day is Yours, the night is also Yours; You have prepares the light and the sun. You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
Second, we are driven to pray vv 18-23. This attitude and action must be continual elements of our lives.
While experiencing God's judgment, the palmist recalled the greatness of God: " You divided the sea by Your strength." The palmist prayed for deliverance, knowing God was his only hope. When we remember God's greatness and cry out to Him in prayer, it is evidence of a return to Him. Our loving Father, in His omniscience , will allow us to stay in the suffering until we are completely surrendered to Him and He has accomplished His purpose in us. Rest assured He will not forget you!
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Father God guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You Amen
Have a BLESSED Tuesday. It's a new day! It's the day God has made.
God's discipline
