WHY?

 Psalms 43

 WHY?

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my GOD. Psalms 43:5

Note: in the midst of confrontations GOD is still reliable

In the verses 2 of the text above, the Psalmist came to the consciousness of whom he is that his God is mighty to save from the oppression of the enemies, the alliance of "the deceitful and unjust man" let us go through this passage one more time;

"Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy’s oppression? ISV”

This was the question David asked. Likewise, we consciously or unconsciously found our self asking same question in our confrontations today. It is important to know that no one who has never made God his or her trust can or will ask such, there must have been a cordial relationship between the two parties to bring about such courage to questioned GOD.

Lessons to learn:

1. You must have relationship with God
2. It is very important for you to know that challenges are meant to be in spite of your relationship with God, but will not overcome you for faithful is He that calls.
3. Your challenges should not be the reason to let go the sovereign God out of your life
4. When darkness is having way in someone's life all man needs is the light of God to rule out the operation: consider the prayer of Psalmist in verses 3; Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places.

Note: darkness cannot give light to the darkness #db

What are the challenges? Already counting how many days to wrap up the year, the gain and lost? Maybe you already gave up on yourself, and God seems impotent over your case. Have you been crying, nothing seems interesting, are you damaged in all areas of your life? Are you having fruitless efforts? I can boldly say to you, light will shine!

Hear me friend;

1. Why do you think you are better than those who are gone beyond?
2. Why do you think you are alive? Selah

Note: "You can't be for God and alive for shame or reproach" #db

He called you; 1Peter 2:9 BBE But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

Stand up and say to yourself I BELONG TO GOD AND I WILL NOT BE REPROACHED, I SERVE A GOD OF WONDERS MY LIFE IS WONDERFUL, MY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL IN JESUS NAME.

Give your life to Jesus Christ today HE cares!

Just simply says, Lord Jesus I thank you for the life you gave on the cross, I accept you into my life as my Lord and Saviour, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. I congratulate you!
