We were delivered before the wicked were able to harm us. We were connected to them, and they viewed us as criminals.28 3" Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts." He describes the honorable feelings of anger and rage when he is injured in a just battle. The heat of the anger and the seething feelings of rage wash over him, filling him with a sense of righteousness and justice. He was always open to voluntarily suffer approaching death because of his occupation as a doctor. He knew that by doing so, he could help others in need. In the Psalms, David often laments his injuries. As a result, he distinguishes himself from the wicked by assuming that they will be dragged down to eternal punishment at the date of death. There is a certain personality type that wicked people gravitate to. It is always in perfect harmony and agreement. The wicked have a heart that is deceitful, which is shown by their words. 5" Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD" and" harbor malice in their hearts" But the believer is going tell God what he's going through both physically and spiritually.6 1" O LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I'm faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?" 38 1 O LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.2 For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.3 Because of your wrath there's no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.6 I'm bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.7 My back is filled with searing pain; there's no health in my body.8 I'm feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart." As I look at this depressing picture of my life, I feel a sense of sadness and duty. I know that God is obligated to take care of me, and I am grateful for His care. This admission of error is much more than a mere theological admission of sin. He speaks of his pain and how it feels, separating between God and man. God loves us in a way that allows Him to see what will happen in the future even before we experience it, because He knows what is best for us. If only the focus were on the admission, the capability would be transferred in the admission. He reaches out His hand to protect them, but God does not deal with His children this way - they are exposed to the elements. The intelligence and understanding we have been given is a gift from God, as a result of His words. We are a living embodiment of the love that God has for Himself. We know this is true because what He has described Himself as is true.
Because of sin, we have been burdened with the feeling that our own individual description of God's word is an aggravation to us. He expresses this satisfactorily in 28 9" All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you." The Holy Spirit has been guiding us to hear and understand these actual articulations of functional dependence in the right environment, which has provided us with plenty of opportunities to experience God's love. In the perfect unfolding of God's love for us, He responds to us in a way that reveals His understanding of us – deepening our connection in the process. Like a child who can accurately describe his father's feelings of anxiety, the agitation he vicariously experiences in the dark. God provides us with information about our vulnerabilities so that we can better deal with them.103.. 13" As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we're formed, he remembers that we're dust." God grants us the ability to do extraordinary things with ease. I'm not sure that all dependencies are always so direct and raw. But as we use these things, we may begin to take God's love for granted. As we experience God's attitude of covered authorization, we help to promote miraculous development. However, if we were only concerned with our own creative expression of functional dependence and were not as careful as we could be, then His love would be giving us a great honor, rather than our appreciation of the considerable authorization that it provides. This is why it is often difficult for us to appreciate the beauty of God's creation, because we rely on our own limited understanding.
