Psalms 28-29

Dear RTB’ers,

Psalm 28. …who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. (v. 3b) These words struck me today, by way of condemnation! So often I find myself in two-faced conversation – speaking words and listening to what is being said while my mind is way off somewhere else – somewhere else that I needed to be or something else that I wanted to do. Yes, I have a hearing problem and I tend to tune out when I am not hearing well. But that does not excuse me in two-person conversation! By the way, verse 3a, the lead-in to the half-verse that I quoted above, tells us that David is speaking of the wicked … the workers of evil. Ouch!!

Psalm 29. It is easy for us to put ourselves into this Psalm! Sitting on a covered porch during a summer rain while lightning flashes and thunder roars – we see God’s power and majesty firsthand! The voice of the LORD (seven times in this Psalm) … and in His temple all cry, “Glory!” (v. 9b). GLORY!!

Blessings!
