June 23, 2023 Bible Study — Praising God When We Suffer

Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 38-44.

In today’s psalms the psalmist speaks of enduring suffering, sometimes as a result of his sin, sometimes as a result of unjust persecution, but in all cases suffering which no one can or will provide relief.  Yet despite the hopelessness of his situation, he puts his trust in God.  Even if everyone has turned against him, he will trust God to deliver him.  As he cries out to the Lord, he confesses his sin and begs God for forgiveness.  Even in the midst of his suffering, the psalmist praises God and rejoices over His faithfulness.  He acknowledges that he has allowed his troubles to distract him from seeking God, and vows to seek God once more.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
