Will God ever be angry? yes... Will He punish us? I guess so. But i thought God is all-loving and gracious, why would He be angry? God has feelings, and even human will anguish, pain and be angry when we see our loved ones doing wrong things or going against us. God will be angry and sometimes, i guess He will cause certain things to happen, no so much to punish us, but to warn us to turn away from our sins. It may be painful, but one thing we can be thankful for, His anger lasts only a while, the pain is momentary... His love and favor last forever. =)
In verse 6-7, David talked about himself feeling confident and secure, because of His wealth, power and fame. These caused him to feel self-reliant, self-secure and independent of God. We will too, depending on our own intelligence for exams? Satisfied with our finances since we get money from our parents... not thankful for the things we have? Achieving because of our own talents?
But maybe God punished david, and he wrote in verse 7, when God cover His face, David "was dismayed". Losing the security.. Just that we can become bankrupt one day, lose in competitions, fail tests? Earthly security is uncertain, we cant depend on money, power, or even relationship w people. The only security that we can be secure in, is the security in the Lord. He never fails.
"You have turned my mourning into dancing, You have turned my sorrow into joy!"
