Blessings During The Affliction

And here in Psalms 68:19

King David make this profound statements

1) Blessed be the Lord.

a. In the midst of all the trouble all the chaos he knew the battle wasn’t over but he could still say blessed be the lord.

b. Psalms 119:60-62

i. VS 60 I made haste and delayed not to keep your commandments.

1. Another words I did the right thing.

2. I did it quick!

ii. VS61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me!

1. I did the right thing but received the wrong outcome.

2. I was expecting something different.

3. This is not what I expected!!

iii. But I still have not forgotten the law.

1. Another words I’m still holding on I haven’t forgotten your ways.

iv. VS 62 At midnight I WILL rise to give thanks unto thee because of your righteous judgments.

1. Midnight:

a. A time everything seems to be going wrong

i. The kids not where you want them.

ii. The finances falling apart

iii. The marriage in trouble

iv. Thought you would be married by now and still single.

v. Dr just gave you a bad report.

b. Lord I know that when this is all over when everything is said and done you will see my

case and you will be fair!

2) Going back toPsalm 68:19

Who DAILY loadeth us with benefits.

So easy in the midnight hour to focus on our situation and forget the daily benefits!

The often times small things, things we fail to see because we get so focused on our situation our problems we fail to see our DAILY benefits.

3) Even the God of our salvation!

a. It is in the midnight hour you might not see any thing to give thanks for.

b. But if you are saved and Jesus Christ is the God of YOUR salvation you have more that

MOST.
