In Psalm 86 David cries out "The arrogant are attacking me, A band of ruthless men seeks my life-men without regard for you. But you oh God are a compassionate and gracious God slow to anger abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and grant me mercy."
I will be honest when things go bad I tend to turn to God and ask Him why He did this to me. I blame Him for letting this happen to me. The Psalmist knew better. He knew that bad things happen on earth and that when they do God may not be the cause. He reminded himslef of who God is, how God acts toward him and how he should act toward others based on God's nature.
I am rebuked.
