Psalm 32:4
" For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me"
The sense of God's power punishing or correcting, is called God's hand. This hand, is a correcting hand, whereby God chastises and buffers our ways. The old saying; "The finger of God is on you," that would be enough to get our attention because God's finger can crush us with just a touch. How much more powerful would His hand be upon us?
When under terrors of conscience, we have little rest by night, because of the grim and evil thoughts of the day that lingers in our hearts and minds and haunts our dreams; then we lie awake in a cold sweat of dread. God's hand is very helpful when it uplifts us; but it is awful when it presses down upon us.
There are three points of doctrine here: (1). All afflictions are God's hand. (2). God often lays His hand heavily upon His children. (3). God will sometimes continues pressing His heavy hand upon us through both day and night, because He loves us so. Unconfessed transgression will dry up a man's soul, and like poison will eat away the life of a man. I want to always feel God's hand upon me; however I pray that His hand is lifting me up and not pressing down upon me. About you, how do you want to feel God today in your life?
