7 The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 28:6,7

They care nothing for what the Lord has done
or for what his hands have made.
So he will tear them down,
and they will never be rebuilt! Psalm 28:5

Evening Meditation 10-22-16
Do not drag me away with the wicked—
with those who do evil—
those who speak friendly words to their neighbors
while planning evil in their hearts.
4 Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!
Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness.
Pay them back for all their evil deeds!
Give them a taste of what they have done to others. Psalm 28:3,4
Compare and contrast Psalm 28: 3,4 with 1 Corinthians 9:26,27 “ So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
