My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
    Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
    Their tongues are filled with flattery.[a]
10 O God, declare them guilty.
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you. Psalm 5: 9-10

In light of your meditation from last night how does God want you to pray for your enemies and for yourself?

My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
    Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
    Their tongues are filled with flattery.[a]
10 O God, declare them guilty.
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you. Psalm 5:9-10

Do you have any enemies? What makes them enemies? Does God declare them guilty or just you?

Ferocious Pt. 10

In answer to some of the questions I posed in our recent meditations on I Cor. 13 I am sharing this series I wrote a few years ago. I know I still have some of you dangling on the line regarding our study through the book of Romans (THE ROAD THROUGH ROMANS). I assure you we will get back to that in a bit. Right now I have to carry through with this series for some reason. Maybe that reason is you. If so share a thought or two about that.

FEROCIOUS PT. 10

Evening Meditation 5-29-16

O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
    you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
    for you hate all who do evil.
You will destroy those who tell lies.
    The Lord detests murderers and deceivers. Psalm 5:4-5

How do you see God’s intolerance for wickedness played out in real life?
