Day 228 Bible Readings – Psalm 119: 75-76 (ESV)

2 Chronicles 5 & 6, 1 Corinthians 11, Psalm : 119: 73-80

 Psalm 119: 75-76 (ESV)

“I know, O Lord, that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant.”

Verses 75 and 76 from Psalm 119 talks about how a person of great faith thinks about God. When you have great faith in God and you go through a season of suffering, you can still proclaim that God is right. And that even when you are suffering you know that God is still faithful to you, and will comfort you with his steadfast love in the seasons of suffering. And you know only that because God made promises to us his children.

I think that praising God and believing that he is always right in a season of suffering is the hardest thing to do. Even when we aren’t suffering but we hear of bad things happening to other people, it is so human to wonder “Where was God? Why did he allow this happen?” But if we work daily on our relationship with God by reading his words and meditating on his words, we can quiet these questions and rely on our understanding of God’s love for us. We will know that each bad and good thing happening in the world is part of God for further his plan for humanity.
