Study 5B..““Whatever there be –- losses, tears, bereavements, disappointments, pain, sickness, blindness, deafness, dumbness……if God permits them, they are right. They are for His glory and they are for our good.”

Study 5B..God's dealing
Key-verse: ““I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.”” (Psalm 119:75)
Notice that David does not say, ““I think so!””, or ““I suppose so!””, or ““I want to believe it!””, or ““I hope so!”” Nor does he say, “”I can see it to be so!””, because the fact is that usually we cannot see what God is doing –- look up John 13:7. What the psalmist says is, ““I know it……!”” This is the language of faith, faith that is operative in personal experience. Is this your language, or are you questioning, fretting, resentful and rebellious? We stopped at point 2 in the previous part.
3 . Psalm 119 :75 – – “ The Lord has afflicted me in faithfulness !””
This is what David says, and it means that the Lord has been at work in our lives with the sincere intention of doing us good, and that He is just and righteous in all His dealings with us. He is faithful to us and therefore deals with us as He sees best, and because we are all different He deals with us in different ways. He afflicts us, disciplines us, for our good always, because He loves us and wants the best for us. He is not only kind but He is mercifully kind, as we learn from verse 76 (KJV); and His mercies are tender, as we learn from verse 77 (KJV). So our faith must lay hold of the fact that God is faithful and we must ““have faith in God”” (Mark 11:22); or, as the missionary Hudson Taylor used to say, “”We must lean on the faithfulness of God””.
4 . Psalm 119 :75 – - ““What the Lord does is right!””
David said, “”I know, O Lord, that your laws are righteous.”” When affliction comes upon us, because the Lord is our Lord and we are His children, we should be able to say, ““It’’s all right, Lord!”” God can only do what is right. He cannot do wrong. So, the psalmist says, ““Whatever there be –- losses, tears, bereavements, disappointments, pain, sickness, blindness, deafness, dumbness……if God permits them, they are right. They are for His glory and they are for our good.”
5. Psalm 119 :75 – – “ I gladly acknowledge it !” ”please note this.
6 . Psalm 119 :75 – - What is the secret of all this?
What is the secret of this quiet, restful, submissive reaction to the Lord’’s dealings with us? The secret is found in:-
1. A readiness to learn –- see verse 73, and compare Philippians 4:11.
2. A desire to be used –- see verse 74, and compare Philippians 1:12.
3. A hunger for God’’s Word –- see verses 73, 74, 76, 77, 78 and 79, and compare verse 107 (KJV).
What the psalmist says is, ““I know it……!”” This is the language of faith, faith that is operative in personal experience. Is this your language, or are you questioning, fretting, resentful and rebellious? Common, God is aware of your affliction ,is working something out for you...
