Live as the Lord has called you. Do not compromise to live like the wicked when you see them prospering, but rather commit your way to Yahweh who sees all and judges according to His righteousness!

The words of the ungodly are untrustworthy! This is not just a warning about others, but also servers as a warning for your own judgment, plans, pursuits, and opinions when your heart has drifted far from God.

Loving our enemies is not the same as tolerating our enemies' existence. To love them is to bless them and to mourn with them!

A legalist wants to debate the rules; but the point wasn’t which rules were the correct rules; the point was the basic way to approach God. We emphasize that it is based not on what we do for Him, but it is based on what He has done for us in Jesus Christ!

If we desire good lives, it is not found in fulfilling our dreams, gaining respect, or becoming celebrities. Rather, it is found in a life lived in the fear of the Lord for there is found wisdom!

Church, we are the blessed nation that God has chosen as His inheritance. His plans for us and through us cannot be stopped. God works through us and many other things, but does not depend on them for victory!

Christians’ sins are no less egregious than those who don’t believe. The price that was paid for those sins is still Jesus’ blood on the cross. The believer's sin should never breed nonchalance or guilt but always conviction, always sanctification, and always remorse.

David was again filled with hope and courage to face whatever was ahead. Sounds like some practical stuff we could all benefit by in this ever changing world.

But the best take away for us is to be big picture minded like David, not only being about the here and now and our temporal comfort but also about being prepared for eternity.
