Aroused When We Are Mistreated

"Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble."
Psalm 10: 12

Though at times God seems to be inattentive to the events happening around us, God is zealous about His own people and is provoked when His children are wronged by the wicked ones. He stretches out His hands against the anger of our foes and protects and preserves us (138:7).

Anticipate Ease When In Pain

"When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings."
Psalm 84:6

Let us move forward expecting moments of ease, comfort and peace even as we pass through areas of pain and distress. Our present troubles are just momentary, preparing us for great glory(2 Cor.4:17), when He will refresh our weary hearts with abundant showers (Psa.68:9)

Don't Reject. Rejoice When Rejected

"The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner."
Psalm 118:22

Beware not to reject any child of God because it is the law of God to make the rejecter become totally dependant on the rejected. Rejoice if anyone rejects you because it is the will of God to make you the prime foundation of his life.

All Will Be Well Even When All Is Evil

"They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied."
Psalm 37:19

When it is ill with others around, everything will still be well with those who have all their confidence in God. As our salvation, hope, comfort and providence comes from the Lord (vs.39), we never need to worry about any famine, woe or mess. God will always be there to help, provide and lift our heads up.

When Men Backbite..

"..my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.. But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise You more and more."
Psalm 71:10,14

There are men waiting to backbite us in our hour of deprivation. Yet let us not lose heart but put our hope in God continually. When we cannot delight in our present situation, let us look forward to what is going to be ours and celebrate it. Let us be overjoyed and praise God more and more with the assurance of His interposition in our behalf to make us soar higher.
