[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 83]] ## Title: Ask God the Hard Questions ## Scripture: (Psalm 83:1-2) “A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent. Do not ignore us. Do not be inactive, O God. For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile.” (NET) ## Observation: When we have conflict or difficulty with others, many of us tend to isolate ourselves from them. We cope with the difference of opinion or methodology by removing ourselves from them. Over time the distance grows until the relationship is basically over. If we are not careful, we can do the same with God. When God does not act in a way we think or in a time that we think, we begin to wonder what is going on. Because we are unsure, we begin to isolate from Him and the spiral begins. Instead of doing that, be like the songwriter in today’s chapter. The songwriter asks God very straightforward questions. Don’t allow your misunderstanding of God to cause distance. Be honest and allow God to calm your heart and mind. ## Application: Be honest with God in your prayer time today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for allowing us to bring our whole selves into our relationship with You.
