1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. 4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people. 7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. 8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say, "let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.” 9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. 10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. 11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. (Psalm 22:1-11) The Christian life is a journey. It's not always full of consolation. Sometimes you also experience desolation. When that happens, we need to discern why. Sometimes the Lord is correcting us. But sometimes the Lord is purifying us. We need to know the difference and respond to Him accordingly. #churchonline #digical #rlccphil Choose your place of grace - https://solo.to/rlccphil Discuss this in your small group - https://rlcc.ph/devotional/ Ask for prayer- https://m.me/rlccphil Send your giving - https://join.rlcc.ph/giving Take the next step - https://bit.ly/3mJy44F Download our free app - https://app.rlcc.ph Have questions? - https://join.rlcc.ph/support Main Idea: “When your faith is being purified, God is glorified.” (“Kapag ang pananampalataya mo ay nagiging puro, ang Diyos ay naluluwalhati sa buhay mo.”) How would you know that you are going through purification and not correction? Five Signs 1. You are experiencing the felt absence of God (vv.1-2). 2. Your faith in God's character is still intact (vv.3-5). 3. You're still trusting God in spite of the situation (vv.6-8). 4. You remain committed to God's calling for your life (vv.9-10). 5. You long for God's presence again (v.11). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfWt4Nu6ybA
