Verses 1 & 4 --
O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;
you have been angry; oh, restore us...
You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
The Lord's people experience the full gamut of emotions, from desperation to hope. It is right for us to call out, "O, restore us!" when we feel that God has rejected us, broken us down, turned away from us in anger. Those times are a wake-up call for us to realize that in our own "strength," we are weak, sinful, foolish. But with Christ as our banner, our battle standard, our refuge from the ongoing conflict between flesh and spirit.
...Just my reflections for a Tuesday morning!
"In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus!"
