Psalms for the Summer // Psalm 44

<p><strong>Verse breakdown:</strong></p> <p><strong>1-8: </strong>Praise - looking at what God has done for his people in the past. It is a good thing to spend time on a regular basis recalling what God has done in the past</p> <p><strong>9-16: </strong>making accusations against God - you’ve caused the shame &amp; suffering, overwhelmed by their emotions and the defeat they feel. So often in a moment of trouble we forget all of God’s faithfulness.</p> <p><strong>17-22:</strong> Protest &amp; self justification - We look at ourselves and think how faithful that we are to God</p> <p><strong>23-26: </strong>Petitions of prayer to God&nbsp; - Can God deliver us is never in question, only will God deliver us from this?</p> <p><strong>Paul quotes Psalm 44 in Romans Ch. 8 - for your sake we are killed all day long, we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all things we are more than conquerors.</strong></p>
