Disciplined, not Abandoned

Reading in Psalm 38 this morning. A psalm that starts with: "O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath," ends with "Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation." It's such a beautiful psalm because in it we see that even though we sin and fail God (as David readily admits to doing), we can be sure that God will not abandon us. David has sinned, and yet God is still his salvation.

God will discipline us; he will never abandon us.
