God's W-O-R-D for today
Whisper of God -
Look at that guy!
He had sex with sin,
he's pregnant with evil.
Oh, look! He's having
the baby—a Lie-Baby!
(Psalm 7:14 MsgB)
Observation -
This is one of David's honest prayers. He knows his enemies (that is King Saul) are out to get him, and if they catch him they will destroy him. Yet David's confidence is in God; he actually prays, "God if I'm guilty then let them catch me."
Yet David also knows that God is just. It is God who will ultimately judge the wicked. So David points out those who have been made themselves one with sin. They have become pregnant with evil and their offspring is deceit and disillusionment.
Sin is enjoyable for awhile, but in the end you are never satisfied.
Real Life Application -
I must be united with Christ wholeheartedly so that I am expectant with those things that last forever.
Day's Prayer -
Lord Jesus, forgive me for having a divided heart, for loving You yet still holding on to the desires of this world. Give me a heart that burns for You. Holy Spirit fill me with a desire that only You can satisfy. Then and only then will I know real joy.
Blessed are the pure in heart because they will see God!
