About This Product
Excerpt- “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God” (Ps. 42:11).
In the psalm before us, the soul is in the very depths of distress — deep calleth unto deep. Yet the one whose experience is here set forth was not one of the most wicked men on earth — far from it. He can say, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” Yet he has to say, “My tears have been my meat day and night.” His soul is cast down and disquieted. He declares, “All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.” So great is his anguish that it is as if a sword pierced his bones. All this comes upon one who is godly.
How the Soul Rallies
But how does he regard these afflictions? Does he say, “This is all I get for seeking God?” On the contrary, he seeks to rally his soul to hope and praise. Let us see how this man carries himself under this weight of trial (surely greater than that experienced by most of us), and as we watch him closely, it may be we shall learn some deep lessons and come to regard our own sorrows and sufferings in a clearer and calmer light.
When his soul is cast down and when God seems to have forgotten him, with enemies reproaching him and their continual jeer ringing in his ears, “Where is thy God?” (Psalm 42:3,10), this is what he says to himself: “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him” (vs. 5).
