Psalms 43 and 44 - We Never Forget You

5 Why are you discouraged, my soul?
Why are you so restless?
Put your hope in God,
because I will still praise him.
He is my savior and my God.
Psalms 43:5 (GW)

17 Although all of this happened to us,
we never forgot you.
We never ignored your promise.
18 Our hearts never turned away.
Our feet never left your path.
Psalms 44:17-18 (GW)

Reflection of B:

Psalms 43:5 is a repeat of Psalms 42:5,11 where King David talked to himself. When we are discouraged, we should be like David and asked ourselves what is the root of our discouragement and remind ourselves to trust in God and praise Him in all situations. In this way we will not be overcome by sorrows.

Even though many bad things happened to David that caused him to question God, yet he never forget Him or turn away from Him. He passed the tests set for him and was called the man after God's own heart. Likewise, we need to be strong and have faith in God in all situations.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for keeping me with You through all my sufferings and trials. Thank You for all the bible men and women of faith whom I can learn from their examples. When I am discouraged, Your words always lift me up and help me hope in You again.
Praise You! Amen.
