Commentary on Psalms 39:10

Theological / Devotional

Remove. It is proper to pray that the stroke of the enemy be removed (see 2 Cor. 12:8), but the petitioner should fully submit to the divine will (see Luke 22:42). God alone can judge the case in the light of all the issues involved in the great controversy. It is our part to remove any hindrances to what Heaven would like to accomplish for us, then to leave the results with God. If the stroke is not removed, we should say with Paul, “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Cor. 12:9).

Stroke. Heb. nega‘ (see on Ps. 38:11).
