In times of conflict, it is often what we say that leaves the greatest wounds. In the Psalms, David finds himself being maligned and libeled grievously, and he finds himself wanting to retaliate in kind. Instead, he holds back his tongue, and seeks God. Could this be a path for us? Is this something that God would have us follow? This meditation on Psalm 39 explores this is a way that makes the scripture accessible and full of application. Check it out.

This week begins a new series on prayer designed to lead us closer to Christ, As we begin, we ask the Lord to "teach us to pray." It is our first prayer, our beginning. Taken from Luke 11.1, it is a prayer of desire, our desire for Him. This episode also looks at  John 4 that speaks of the woman at the well to help us understand exactly what prayer is.

The Psalms, if they are anything, are honest. There is no hiding in the Psalms. David does not hint at his emotions, does not pretty up his langusage when he is hurting. He is not shy about sharing his thoughts, even when they are filled with doubts, or grief, or shame. He simply tells God how it is with Him.  This is how it should be. In our worship, in our prayers, we must start with how it is with us, how we feel, how we are thinking. We can not permit ourselves to play the toxic game of denial when it comes to our struggles, our sins, or our woundedness. Before God, we must always be honest.

“Delight yourself in the LORD…delight…in abundant peace…delight in His way.”
Delight speaks of the aspiration and preoccupation of the heart. This delight can be captured by many things, but it is made for only one thing-Him! God! Christ! To delight yourself in the Lord is to desire him above all other things or other persons. The promise of God is that when we delight in Him, He is what we get!

It is the very nature of sin to deceive the sinner. In Psalm 36 sin is personified and speaks to the heart of the sinner. It speaks lies that if believed will lead a person to believe they are above everyone else, and that there shamefulness will never be found out. Here the deceived accepts the lie that God is not real, or even more so, that he is irrelevant. He fears only one thing, not satisfying his own twisted desire. Fear of God is no where in his thinking.

What is the answer to being deceived by sin?

Only one thing, to delight ourselves in the "steadfast love of the Lord, by which we live and move and have our being. Morning Mercies has just posted a devotion on Psalm 36. Check it out. Now on all podcast platforms. 

Accusations! Distrust! Hate! Violence! Does not that describe the public environment of today? It’s on the right, its on the left. It’s on the news, we read it on bumper stickers, we plant banners in our front yards all in the promotion of our view or our group. Is there another way? Yes, there is, and I believe Psalm 35 is steeped in that path.  Check out Morning Mercies new devotional  podcast on this Psalm and be encouraged.
