Psalm 141:5–6 (ESV) —
5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil
deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff,
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
NOTE: It is
disheartening to see evil forces at work
on both sides of political issues. It is even more so when only one side is
condemned by the media and our leaders, as if the other evil is legitimate or
acceptable. But evil is evil and it is wrong. Whenever we treat each other with
contempt and ridicule and lack of respect and violence, it is ALL wrong. It
hurts, and I just need to pray for my country to see its' sin and evil. I pray,
it won't be at death (imagery of a judge thrown over the cliff for evil
rulings) that they finally recognized their sin. Open our eyes dear Lord that
we can see all of the sin of our nation. I pray we would repent and might still
turn back to you in repentance and humility. Help me to show the love of Christ
to all people, for that is what is missing so much today.
