Psalm 10 - Cry of Desolation
When it seems God has forgotten us, Psa 10:1-18 is a prayer. Psalm 10 could represent the Tribulation saints praying prophetically. Psalm 10 Outline: (1) The cry of desolation Psa 10:1-2; (2) The character and craft of the wicked (Psa 10:3-11); (3) The assurance of God's Justice (Psa 10:12-18). It seems the wicked consume the righteous (Psa 10:2). It's easy to complain (Psa 10:1). Paul equates suffering to being in Christ (Phi 3:10). The Antichrist is characterized by the wicked (Psa 10:3-11, 2Th 2:8, 1Jo 4:4, Dan 11:32-35). The wicked boasts of what they're going to do (Psa 10:3, Jam 4:15-16). The wicked is arrogant and disregards the presence of God (Psa 10:4, Pro 16:18). A wicked man's successes make him contemptible (Psa 10:5). The wicked man believes he is not accountable (Psa 10:5-6) and assumes he'll be happy. The wicked tongue is iniquity (Rom 3:10-18). He is ruthless and reflects Satan (Psa 10:8-10, Joh 8:44, 1Pe 5:8). He acknowledges God but considers Him impotent (Psa 10:11-13, 1Ti 4:2). God will deal with wickedness (Psa 10:14-18, Rom 12:19). Who God is by nature tells us what He'll do (Psa 10:14-15). God is the Helper of the helpless (Psa 31:5, Job 13:15). God will do justice (Psa 10:16-18). Desolation: (1) intensive affliction (Psa 143:3-4) (2) Desolation for the believer is never the end (Psa 34:21-22); (3) Never forget our Redeemer has been made desolate for us (Isa 53:3-8); (4) Sarah is the example for believers when they feel forsaken (Gal 4:27); (5) God makes our desolate times monuments of His everlasting Grace and Mercy (Isa 54:1-17).
