Humility was a theme last week. God was putting me through some hardship spiritually and I was wondering why. So He led me to Psalm 44. This passage reminds me of Job in some senses, where God appeared to let down His people.
When we are set back, we cannot give up. When we go through that valley, we shouldn't fear any evil. When we are humbled, we need to accept it. Despite our situation, God wants us to know that our redeemer lives (Job 19:25) . We need to know that God is who He says He is...faithful, patient and totally in control. And so loving! We need to come out of trials more humble than we were before them. We need to understand that He is good enough to work all things together for our good.
Confirmed: On the same day as I read Psalm 44, there were confirming comments on a new post on the Quickened Word. Here they are. It amazes me how God speaks similar things to His children. So synchronized, so timely. And our Lord wants all of us to "see in part"!
Confirmed: Here is another faith builder from the Quickened Word, this one from today. It is God's arm that fights for us, and must fight for us, or else we cannot live in His Victory. See psalm 44 above for more on that. The better way to live is in humility! If we are humble before Him, He will always lift us up. He lifts us up and gives us His might to live victorious. God doesn't want His children falling short because they don't have knowledge of who He is and what He's done (Hosea 4:6). He wants us to use the power and name that called us and justified us in the first place. God's righteous right hand has lifted us up, and His Word has given us power and authority.
Let's know that God disciplines those He loves. Let's respond with a Spirit of humility and trust. Only then can we walk by the power of His arm. Only then can we help the body. Only then can we be a "strong and mighty" warrior for Him (Judges 6:12).
