Psalm 44 has been described as a prayer and a lament.
Beginning in verse 1, the psalmist acknowledges the awe and wonder of God.
Psalm 44:1 (NRSVue) - We have heard with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:
Paul, in his second letter to Timothy, gave him sound instruction on how to teach.
But he also left him with a warning.
2 Timothy 4:3 (NRSVue) - For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound teaching, but, having their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires
And Paul’s warning is a good reminder for our modern world.
Some teachers and even some ministers are selective about what to discuss and how to discuss it.
God should always fill us with awe.
His deeds should still amaze us.
And the Bible stands the test of time and is the source of truth.
It should still strike a chord within us.
And that same chord should resonate among believers.
It should also resonate within the hearts and minds of those who teach and preach the Word of God.
We should always share the complete truth of God’s deeds with others.
Just like those who preceded us shared it with us.
