• If I have brought trial on myself by sin, how difficult to see love in it! how difficult not to groan in the consciousness that it is the fruit of sin and just rebuke for it, and hence that we have no right to think of love in it! Yet where can we turn but to Him, and how look to Him to deliver whom we have offended? Such is the real and distressing difficulty of a soul which, feeling that it has brought sorrow on itself, feels it has no right to look for deliverance. It is indeed almost tempted to despair and sink under the sense of hopelessness. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 5-18” by J.N. Darby)
• While bowing under the rebukes and chastening’s of the Lord, so justly incurred, he deprecates the Lord’s displeasure and seeks His favor. The following verses give the soul’s experiences in reaching the sunshine of God’s favor. (“Psalms 6” by H. Smith)
