Psalm 94:14 (NKJV)
14 For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Disciple's Study Bible - Psalm 94:14
94:14 ELECTION, Faithfulness—God will not reject His elect, but He will discipline them when it is necessary.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary - Psalm 94:14
Notes for Verses 14,15
Verses 14,15. This results from His abiding love (De 32:15), which is further evinced by His restoring order in His government, whose right administration will be approved by the good.

Matthew Henry Concise - Psalm 94:14
Comfort and Peace to the Persecuted (94:12-23)
That man is blessed, who, under the chastening of the Lord, is taught his will and his truths, from his holy word, and by the Holy Spirit. He should see mercy through his sufferings. There is a rest remaining for the people of God after the days of their adversity, which shall not last always. He that sends the trouble, will send the rest. The psalmist found succour and relief only in the Lord, when all earthly friends failed. We are beholden, not only to God's power, but to his pity, for spiritual supports; and if we have been kept from falling into sin, or shrinking from our duty, we should give him the glory, and encourage our brethren. The psalmist had many troubled thoughts concerning the case he was in, concerning the course he should take, and what was likely to be the end of it. The indulgence of such contrivances and fears, adds to care and distrust, and renders our views more gloomy and confused. Good men sometimes have perplexed and distressed thoughts concerning God. But let them look to the great and precious promises of the gospel. The world's comforts give little delight to the soul, when hurried with melancholy thoughts; but God's comforts bring that peace and pleasure which the smiles of the world cannot give, and which the frowns of the world cannot take away. God is his people's Refuge, to whom they may flee, in whom they are safe, and may be secure. And he will reckon with the wicked. A man cannot be more miserable than his own wickedness will make him, if the Lord visit it upon him.

Treasury of David, The - Psalm 94:14
Psalm 94:14
Exposition
For the Lord will not cast off his people. He may cast them down, but he never can cast them off. During fierce persecutions the saints have been apt to think that the Lord had left his own sheep, and given them over to the wolf; but it has never been so, nor shall it ever be, for the Lord will not withdraw his love,
neither will he forsake his inheritance. For a time he may leave his own with the design of benefiting them thereby, yet never can he utterly desert them.
"He may chasten and correct,
But he never can neglect;
May in faithfulness reprove,
But he never can cease to love."
Hints to the Village Preacher
Fear implied. That God will cast off, forsake, etc.
Fear denied. God will not cast off—will not forsake. G. R.
Display his bright doctrine on a dark background. What if the converse were true? Considerations that might lead us to apprehend it true.
Joyfully regard the glowing truth itself. The doctrine declared. The reasons hinted (His people. His inheritance). The confidence expressed. C.A.D.
