 If God has decreed that everything that comes to pass will involve our actions done on the basis of our weaknesses and sins, then He has planned in His eternal counsel exactly everything, including my growth, to form this person. So we live before God who has no surprises. This is why the Psalmist speaks to God as an ongoing dialogue. Most men do not think they are coming to God insincerely. We divide the commandments and make steps to God. But the Psalmist is teaching us the form of communication from God's perspective.If we were to communicate the axioms to God, we would be engaging in a continuous conversation with Him. We would be worried if He appeared to be silent. Some of us might conclude that His silence is due to our sins. However, when the Psalmist experiences God's silence, he tells God about it. God wants us to express to Him what we are experiencing; this is not for God's benefit, as He knows our thoughts before we think them, but for our own faith.If we could always hear God speak, do you think we would have needs? We would experience such satisfaction and acceptance that we would be bubbling over. So the Psalmist is clinging to God at all times. He is always telling God what he wants and his troubles and sins. He is always confiding in God. This is the art of speaking the law, covenants, curses, statutes, and decrees.If we are happy, we praise God. However, in this Psalm, the speaker is insecure, and feels only satisfied when God speaks. This suggests that feelings of loneliness and rejection can only be alleviated when we have God's attention.
