This morning's reading was found in Psalm 7.11-13 where the writer said, "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors." Also consider Psalm 9 and verse 17, "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."
It is totally repulsive to the flesh to even think about a thrice Holy God destroying the wicked, with whom He is "angry...every day." The very idea that the Lord God has "prepared...instruments of death, (and ordained) His arrows against...persecutors" is abhorrent in the strongest sense to the carnal mind. Yes, yes, this is the Psalmist speaking from his frame of reference but if you believe that "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," (2 Pet. 1.21) then you must accept the Words of God at face value.
Tuning back in on 7/26:
What are my thoughts today? Well, this blogger has moved beyond the above as far as the thought process and am simply "muddled" by life. The brain and body is weary beyond words of daily interaction with wicked forces. If this blogger is honest, all has not been done that could be done in daily devotional life. That is, praying, meditating and studying God's Word. Because it is written, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:" (Isa 26.3, 4)
