Learning Lessons the Hard Way - Psalm 30
from Trails Church Sermons Hosted by Trails Church Winnipeg
It is rather providential that on this Father’s Day we find ourselves in a passage that deals with the theme of God’s discipline of his children. In Psalm 30, David praises God for how he delivered him, not from enemies, but from discipline for his own sin. In this David gives thanks for how God has restored him through several redemptive reversals. God’s corrective discipline is not something we often consider and it is a painful experience to be sure. However, remember that through the gospel we too have enjoyed these same redemptive reversals. Therefore, though we may not enjoy discipline, we know that our Father will turn all our sorrows to joy in Christ. As you read and prepare for tomorrow, meditate on the imagery and emotional language David uses to describe his experience. Consider your own need for correction and how you have responded in the past. Pray that we would respond as David did and that we would know the joy of the Lord’s favor in a more tangible way.
