Psalms 44:7-9 KJV
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
• Verse seven speaks of the shame the enemies of the Lord experience while
• Verse nine speaks of the shame experienced by the people of the Lord.
There is in the Word of God this conflict and it is because we are a people not of this world and so not welcomed by the world but still too much conformed to the world and so needy of God's ministry of correction within us.
How we resist that correction!
Our problem is that we see ourselves as deserving His goodness or at the least, undeserving of His corrections. If we could come to see that corrections, especially for the saved, are always intended for the good thing, if we could come to trust in the Lord, if we could learn to wait upon Him we would find His judgments are always right.
