reading psalms 9 and 10 I was struck by two things...
- psalm 10 talks about how much the wicked boast. when I think of "boasting" I don't even think of just quietly nodding in agreement or demurely relating a short story. I think of someone literally lifting their chin and puffing out their chest... I think of bold statements, the CAPS LOCK KEY and graphic photos. and here it talks about pride in doing evil even?? sounds like all the perps from those crime dramas I like to watch on tv. and when I really think about this passage, its awful, and completely true. I can think of wwwaaayyy more times I've bragged about how wasted I got rather than the times I've bragged about my connection with my God. and not only have I bragged many times but I've bragged LOUDLY and with exclamation points!!!!
why is that? why does bad = attention and good = unnoticeable
- psalm 9 will be my new mantra then because when I read it, I was surprised by the confidence and determination I heard.
I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
YES I WILL!
