Psalm 44 -- Perhaps "I'm Sorry" is the best thing to say?


“If we had forgotten our God or lifted our hands in prayer to foreign gods, God would have known, because He knows what is in our hearts.” 



The people of Israel had just lost a battle and they were stunned.  They didn’t understand what caused them to lose.



“We have been pushed down into the dirt; we are flat on the ground.”



They were at rock bottom and knew it.  But they didn’t know why, so they cried out to God for understanding.



“Because of Your love, save us!”



They knew one thing – God did everything out of love, and they appealed to Him on the basis of that love for help.



My sidebar today asks, “What problem or fear do you need to trust God with today?  Remember that God already knows your problem and wants you to trust Him for strength to solve it.  Tell God about your need.”



Father, You know what pains my heart today.  Give me strength that I don’t have.  Fight the battle for me.  Your great power and strength can overcome any obstacle – even me.  My puny efforts cannot.  I have to rely solely on You.



Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
