We were created by God, made and formed by Him. It is amazing how many people are so desperate to try and prove otherwise. Many who are evolutionists follow this not because of scientific endeavour, but out of a desire to prove there is no need for a God. They would rather we were just the product of random chance, a meaningless blip in the fabric of the universe. Others postulate multiverses, though they cannot detect them, in order to "prove" that God did not create the universe. All their attempts are ultimately futile.
Why do they do this? It is because if we are created beings then we have an obligation and a dependency upon the creator. Far better to follow the way of the psalmist and ask the creator to give us understanding of His ways.
We should seek to be an encouragement to those who fear God. To be people that when others see us they see someone in whom the word of God lives, in whom faith is alive.
This is not an easy path. The psalmist endured discipline at the hand of God, but he knew it was for his own good. Instead of seeking to be spared discipline he asked for the Lord's comfort. He delighted in the law of the Lord.
Those who mock the righteous will be put to shame.
