Study 5 GOD’’S DEALINGS WITH HIS OWN PEOPLE
Key-verse: ““I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.”” (Psalm 119:75)
The subject of affliction is not an easy one for the believer to understand, but it is dealt with very fully in God’’s Word. The psalmist has much to say about it, and in our key-verse he tells of something which he had experienced himself; he knew that God was working out His glorious and gracious purpose in his life, and that is something really worth knowing! Looking at this verse carefully you may feel that the word ““afflicted”” is a hard one, but this is not so, because it speaks of God’’s loving and merciful dealings with His own people. It tells us of the Lord’’s discipline (Deuteronomy 8:2-6), and this word “discipline” is not a hard word; it has to do with a father’’s loving dealings with his child. The psalmist knew this and that is why he could break forth with this wonderful testimony in Psalm 119:75. We must study it, and the sequence of teaching which it shows us about God’’s dealings with His own people.
1 . Psalm 119 :75 – - ““Yes , that is true of me : I am afflicted !” ”
Notice the little word “”me”” in the verse. It refers to you, to me, and to every Christian. God is dealing with His own people, fashioning them, disciplining them, sanctifying them, afflicting them (to use David’’s word). If this is not true of us we are not Christians at all –- look up Hebrews 12:5-8 and compare Psalm 34:19. It may be that you are experiencing affliction now –- some sorrow is overwhelming you, or some loss or disappointment has come into your life. You recognise that you are ““afflicted””.
2 . Psalm 119 :75 – – “ I am afflicted , and God has done it !” ”
Notice how David is careful to say, ““in faithfulness you have afflicted me””, and notice the significance of the two pronouns ““you……me.”” Perhaps you say, ““I can’’t believe it; I can’’t believe that God has afflicted me!”Our affliction may be due to the work of the Devil, or to the failure of friends, or to the wickedness of enemies; but nothing happens in the life of the child of God without God’’s loving permission.(ROMANS 8:28-30)...the good thing God has started in your life,he will finish it...Just give thanks to your maker.see you in the concluding part.happy Sunday.
