Psalm 10: When God Seems Hidden: The Cry of the OppressedSeason: Psalms Pastor: Patrick DaileyDate: 8th December 2025Passage: Psalm 10:1-18-------------------Psalm 10 is one of the most honest prayers in Scripture—raw anguish, deep lament, and bold trust colliding in one chapter:1️⃣ The Appeal: “Why, Lord, do You stand far off?” (vv 1–2) 2️⃣ The Arrogance: The wicked boast, deceive, exploit, and believe God does not see (vv 3–11) 3️⃣ The Assurance: God does see, God will act, and God will bring justice (vv 12–18)In this special return episode, I share a brief update from the last six months and then walk through Psalm 10 using the OIA method—Observation, Interpretation, Application. Together, we explore:How to lament honestly when God feels distant The mindset and hidden assumptions of the wicked Why pride blinds people spiritually How God defends the oppressed and upholds justice in His timing Building integrity when “no one is watching” Filling your mind with what is holy, good, and life-giving Trusting that God’s justice is never absent, even when it is unseen📖 Scripture: Psalm 10 (NIV) 🎵 Featured song: “It All Tumbles Down” — Kid in Flight 💬 Themes: Lament · Justice · Hiddenness · Integrity · Faithfulness➡️ Real Talk.
