Never forsaking God. (Notes from Psalm 94)

God described as:
    Judge of the earth, Merciful, Comforter, Defence and Rock of refunge for His people (:2, 18, 19, 22)

The wicked  
        -  speak insolent things, break the people of God in pieces afflicts His inheritance, slays the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
 Yet they say, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand." (:4-7)

The wicked are described as senseless and fools. (:8)

God's action against the wicked:
He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall cut them off in their own wickedness;

The Lord our God shall cut them off.  (:23)

Questions :
   He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
   He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
   He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
  The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. (:9-11)

Yes God hears every word we speak, sees every act of us, and knows our every thought. He instructs, corrects and teaches man knowledge.


Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law,
That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, (:12,13)

Promises:
The Lord will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.
But judgment will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. (:14,15)

Experiences of a believer:
    Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence.
    If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
  In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. (:18,19)
 ...The Lord has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge. (:22)
