Scripture focus

40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 41. Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens. 42. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. 43. Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. 44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through. 45. Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. 46. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. 47. Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

Try our ways. The afflictions and troubles that come to all are reminders that man himself is to search his heart, and that he should change his ways if they are not in accord with God’s ways.
