Hi fellow stemians.I greet you all with a warm greetings from our dear Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father.
Let's consider my studies from Psalms 8:1-8.
The Psalmist is conscious of the strength, physically and numerically of his enemies. Often times we misjudge our enemies strength, either by underating or overrating them. The declaration of the enemies in verse 2 means either God is not able or will not resucue his child. The psalmist knows better.Let's take notice of the three types of help we expect from God when in trouble.
Question : From verse 4-7, what are the responses we expect from God when we direct our complains to Him?
God hears us (V. 4), preserves us (V. 5) and gives us courage in the face of challenges (6). We also get devine support and salvation from Him (V. 7). So we, should like the psalmist, take the right step (V. 4) and show our confidence in the Lord's protection by going to restful sleep.
Some of us are so conscious of what the enemy is capable of doing; we forget that the God who created the enemy is capable of handling him.
Our God is a God of battles.When we murmur and complain instead of trusting in Him in the face of challenges, we are denying his ability to handle our case. (Psalm 35:1)
Don't forget that God is the real helper.I pray that the almighty God help us all to trust in Him always since He is the real helper in Jesus name.
