David was wondering why God was not stepping in to stop the wicked. Why did the heavens seem so quiet? How do you find strength when it seems like the wicked are thriving?
1. You must be honest and confident in his relationship with God. David's mindset: a. I don't see you God; you seem to be so far off from me, especially now during my time of greatest need. b. I should be hiding from my enemies, but you seem to be hiding from me. c. David had an honest and pure heart that approached God to get an answer. Just like everyone else, David had to learn these ageless truths. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. d. We know what the Bible says that God will do to wicked and evil men, but all of us seem to expect God to act swifter and harsher.
2. You must go to God in humility; a proud person cannot ask God to judge the proud and haughty when he himself is full of pride. • The Call to Action (Psalm 10:12-13) 3. A Call to Action Toward the humble (Psalm 10:12) a. Arise, O LORD b. O God, lift up thine hand c. Forget not the humble 4. A Call to Action Toward the wicked (Psalm 10:13) a. The wicked contemn (despise) God. b. The wicked has said in his heart that God will not require answering God or standing in judgment. II. The Call to Assistance (Psalm 10:14-15) 1. The Call to Assistance On behalf of the poor (Psalm 10:14) a. The knowledge of the wicked b. The help for the poor 2. The Call to Assistance In judgment against the wicked (Psalm 10:15) We must learn to look to God as our refuge and strength. 1. When people do wrong, they sin against God
