O Lord our God, you did answer them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
And then God, our God, answered them (But you were never soft on their sins).
God has answered my prayers: I am out of depression and fully participating in life again. The fog has lifted. Like a child who keeps examining a skinned knee, I keep revisiting the paths that took me into and out of depression. This psalm reminds us that God does not protect us from consequences, but he does guide us through them. My sin was seeking glory from my activities. I fight that sin now by seeking glory for God from my activities. I’ve narrowed my life down considerably. I protect my time to rest so that my work can more fully glorify God.
Lord, you answered my prayer. Let my healing glorify you. Let all that I do glorify you. Amen.
