主讲: 丘均发传道

一、向最高法官交托委屈（诗43:1-2）  
 
1．申冤不是软弱，是信靠（V1）  
这节经文是诗人的呼求，不是发脾气，而是向神“上诉”。“伸冤”原是法律用语，表示把委屈交托最公义的法官—全知全能的神。
面对误解和冤屈，不必争一口气，而要将委屈交托神，祷告祂为我们伸冤。求告不是软弱，而是信靠。

2．失落不是犯罪，是人性（V2）
诗人明知神是力量，却在痛苦中问：“祢离开我了吗？” 这不是怀疑神，而是表达情感的挣扎。许多属灵伟人也曾经历这样的低谷。

基督徒并不需装“很属灵”的样子。情绪低落是人生的一部分，神愿意我们坦然来到祂面前，不用假装刚强。

二、向神的光明寻求方向（诗43:3-4）  

1．求神光照，引导到圣所（V3）
诗人不求立刻除去仇敌，而是求“亮光”和“真理”，因他知道唯有神的光才能指引正路。他渴望回到圣山和居所，重回神的同在、敬拜与安息。

困境中，最迫切的祷告并非挪障碍，而是求神照亮下一步！让神的真理成为我们脚前的灯、路上的光，回到神的同在。

2．到神面前，才有真喜乐（V4）
诗人说“我就走到”，不是等神拉他过去，而是主动回到神面前。他称神为“我最喜乐的神”，因喜乐来自敬拜中与神同在，不在于环境是否改变。

许多人误以为“环境改变才会快乐”，但诗人提醒我们：是神的同在带来心灵喜乐。敬拜是我们心归回神时，哪怕在厨房、办公室、巴士上，都可以拍手打节奏称赞祂！

三、向自己宣告神仍掌权（诗43:5）  

1.向心灵喊话 打破忧闷 (诗篇43:5上)
这是诗人向心灵说话，不是唠叨，而是信心的对话。“为何”不是责备，而是提醒：既然有神，何必还困在情绪的牢笼中？

我们最大的战场，不是外面的逼迫，而是心里面的声音。很多时候，我们的问题不是“别人讲什么”，而是我们对“自己讲什么”。

2.向未来宣告 继续称谢 (诗篇43:5下)
诗人不仅向内心喊话，更宣告：“我还要称赞祂！” 这个“还”字说明：虽现况艰难，问题未解，但他相信神仍掌权，终必再称谢神。

信心不是对现在满意，而是对未来有把握。当我们对未来说：“我必赞美神”，就是已经在属灵上从忧闷转向喜乐和自由！

总结：
神未应许人生无风浪，却应许在忧闷中赐出路、亮光与喜乐。
下次心忧烦躁时，请宣告：我的神仍掌权，我还要称谢祂！



    

    Psalm 43: The Key to Overcoming a Downcast Heart!


GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel

I. Entrust Your Grievance to the Righteous Judge (Psalm 43:1-2) 

1. Seeking Justice Is Not Weakness—It’s Trust (v1)
This verse is the psalmist’s cry—not a temper tantrum, but an “appeal” to God. “Vindicate me” is a legal term, meaning to entrust one’s grievance to the most just Judge—God, who is all-knowing and all-powerful.

When facing misunderstanding or injustice, we don’t need to fight for ourselves—we entrust it to God and pray that He will defend us. Calling out to God is not weakness; it’s an act of trust.

2. Feeling Lost Is Not a Sin—It’s Human (v2)
The psalmist knows God is his strength, yet in pain he asks, “Why have You rejected me?” This isn’t doubting God—it’s emotional struggle. Many spiritual giants have gone through such valleys.

Christians don’t have to pretend to be super-spiritual. Feeling down is part of being human. God invites us to come to Him honestly—we don’t have to fake being strong.

II. Seek Direction from God's Light (Psalm 43:3-4) 

1. Ask for God’s Light to Guide You to His Presence (v3)

The psalmist doesn’t ask for immediate 
removal of enemies; instead, he asks for “light” and “truth,” knowing only God’s light can show the right path. He longs to return to the holy mountain and dwelling place—to God’s presence, worship, and rest.

In difficulty, our most urgent prayer isn’t for obstacles to disappear, but for God to shine light on our next step. Let His truth be our lamp and light, guiding us back to His presence.

2. True Joy Comes from Being with God (v4)
The psalmist says, “Then I will go…”—he doesn’t wait for God to drag him, but takes the initiative to return. He calls God “my exceeding joy,” because joy comes from being with God in worship—not from external changes.

Many think “I’ll be happy when my situation changes,” but the psalmist reminds us: joy comes from God's presence. Worship draws our hearts back to God—whether in the kitchen, office, or on a bus, we can clap and praise Him!

III. Declare to Yourself That God Is Still in Control (Psalm 43:5) 

1. Speak to Your Soul—Break the Chains of Depression (v.5a)

The psalmist talks to his soul—not in a nagging way, but in a faith-filled dialogue. “Why?” is not a rebuke but a reminder: if God is with us, why stay trapped in emotion?

Our greatest battlefield isn’t external pressure—it’s the inner voice. Often, it’s not what others say, but what we say to ourselves that matters most.

2. Proclaim Hope to the Future—Keep Praising (v.5b)

The psalmist not only speaks inwardly but declares, “I will yet praise Him!” That word “yet” means: though the situation is hard and unresolved, he believes God still reigns—and he will praise Him again.

Faith doesn’t mean being satisfied with the present—it means being confident about the future. When we say, “I will praise God,” we’ve already begun to shift spiritually from despair to joy and freedom!

Conclusion: 

God never promised a storm-free life—but He promises a way out, His light, and His joy amid discouragement.

Next time your heart feels troubled, declare: “My God is still in control—I will yet praise Him!”
