v3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
very quick today. God looking past my actions directly into my heart again. Some one who is evil goes beyond what we humans can observe. Here no distinction is made for the wicked who do what I might think is evil versus someone who fakes kindness but in their/my heart has some bad thoughts or intentions.
I may be reading something into these chapters that really isn't there....interjecting some of my own insecurities into the mix. But, it almost seems like David is trying to make sure God has his back....like, "my enemies don't stand a chance against me.....right God?". Does it feel like that to you? And, he keeps referencing how righteous and good he is, and how he is deserving of the favor. I've read a couple of things that show that David also made some mistakes in his life.
ReplyDeletejust trying to look at the second level of what I'm reading.
that's 11 in a row for you. I'm gonna have to re-arrange my schedule if I'm gonna beat you to the punch with any of these chapters. haha....keep up the pressure.
the repeated comments about how righteous he is always catch my eye, seems like a bold statement to say how good I am to the point that God almost owes it to him to take care of him. maybe it his insecurity trying to prove his worth?
ReplyDeleteyeah, I've been pretty consistent getting up and rolling lately. a couple times I almost didn't post so I could get your take first. i like when we rotate back and forth too. I will try to keep the pressure on!
