1.From this passage, where did the psalmist run to when he was facing affliction? How did this benefit him?
2.How has God helped you through His Word when you faced tough situations before?
3.What are you currently facing? How do you think can God’s Word help you at this time?
1. He ran to God. His afflictions helped him know his mistakes and they helped him become a better person.
2. He gave encouragement and taught me the things that I needed to do to make it through.
3. Right now, I am facing unexplainable things that happen in my body. God I think is just teaching me to use all the parts of my body for His glory and not to serve myself.
In Reflection:
This verse struck me most:
" My suffering was good for me for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
-Psalm 119:71, NLT-
I am having something unexplainable in my left eye now. It is like a swelling that just came from nowhere. Yesterday it was not here until I did some "stupid" things again using my eyes. Now, I am having this weird swelling. It actually scares me but I guess, this is God's way to admonish and discipline me as regards that hidden sin in my life that actually uses my eyes just to do it. Lord, I do not know. This is Your warning for me. Lord, I am scared. Forgive me. You know I don't have the money to go to the doctor just to have my check-up. You're the only One who can help me and take away this something in my left eye. Lord, help me to overcome that hidden sin in my life. Help me to use all the parts of my body to glorify You and to serve You. You have never intended each part of my body to be used selfishly and an instrument of the enemy. Father, I lift up to You this struggle. This is just all about my sinful nature. Thank You for because of this my eyes are opened again to do the right thing. You discipline me. You just want me to do what is right and lovely to Your eyes. Father, thank You for this lessons learned.Amen.
