11/28/11 Psalm 7
Scripture: Psalm 7:7-9, 14-16 Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule over them from on high; let the Lord Judge the peoples. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity O Most High. O Righteous God, who searches minds and hearts bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment. He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made. The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head.
Observation: the peoples of the Lord God have gathered around him and he needs to rule over those from on high. It is a challenge for the Lord to Judge us all according to the righteousness and integrity that we possess. God will search our minds and hearts to see if we are good and if so then he will bring an end to the violence of the wicked and make the righteous feel safe in this world. However, those that pregnant with evil will cause nothing but evil to themselves. The trouble he cause will bring more troubles apon himself
Application: This is a challenge to God, I said that we will all be judged in heaven one day but its a challenge because he is searching our hearts and minds for righteousness and integrity that we possess during our human life on earth. and if we do not possess these things when God searches our hearts and minds for then we are seen to be pregnant with evil and conceives trouble. It is almost as if when we sin, we choose not to correct our behavior for the next time and we keep falling in the same trap time after time. Its almost like we dig a hole, try to get out of it and then fall back into the pit. The trouble is almost like a snake that recoils on himself but in the end the violence is what kills him. I suppose that a person can change to be a better person, but it is a very hard change because you are giving up things that you have known in the past.
Prayer: Oh Gracious forgiving Father, how you have forgiven my sins, I hope that I can only be a bright like onto what you would like me to be in this world. Please search my heart and mind for righteousness and integrity that I am currently possessing during my human life on earth. and If I am not in your good graces please show me where I have stumbled and failed, so that I can learn my failures so that I don't keep falling into the pit that I might have dug in the past. Please bring an end to the violence of the wicked by showing you to those that don't believe in your healing powers, so that everything will be good in your graces as you see fit, for we are all going to see you someday, but I hope that they understand that they CAN change their ways. All they have to do is believe and follow the steps of CHANGE, In your Son's precious name, AMEN!!
