Darren's Reflection on Psalm 64

9 All mankind will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in him;
let all the upright in heart praise him!


Thoughts: Only when there's fear in God, will we be mighty warriors in his army. Many a times we fail as we have lost the fear in Him. Just because he is a merciful God, we think it's fine to take his grace for granted.

Applications: I myself have taken God's grace for granted, trusting that He'll always forgive and let me off. After reading this chap, God reminded me that though He forgives, He will punish when He needs to, especially for our own good, to instill His fear in us. What I can apply in my life is learning to accept God's punishment for the things I did wrong and looking at it positively instead of crying over spilled milk. Recognising that there'll be more of his fear in me and thus, praise and rejoice more in him.
