“O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast scattered us, Thou hast been displeased; O turn Thyself to us again.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; Thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.” Psalm 60:1-4 (KJB)
cast off
Cast Off, Scattered, Displeased?
“O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast scattered us, Thou hast been displeased; O turn Thyself to us again.” Psalm 60:1 (KJV)
Contrary to the way this Psalm begins it is really a Psalm of victory. Of God being the Deliverer.
Just for a short thought. It may feel sometimes as though God has cast us off, scattered us from our people, and from Himself; and/or even that He is displeased with us; however, there is always hope for the child of God.
With this one verse we see the Psalmists’ hope “O turn Thyself to us again”, and God always hears the cry of His people.
Remember how much God loves you. He sent His Son to die on the cross for us, for you, and by trusting that precious work of Christ you can look to Him and live eternally.
