The Example
They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil. They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath. Psalm 56:5-7
As I read this psalm today I think of Christ. As soon as he started His ministry the Pharisee and Saducees were after His blood, they dogged His steps, questioned His behavior and judged Him as a sinner.
My Lord went through all this because of love. He came to give all men and women a way back to the Father.
If I am suffering is it because of my own lack of faith or stupidity? Why then rail against the Lord when He is innocent?
Things go wrong in this life when we are mistaken as to how life works. We often take one principle and are extreme in it and neglect all others. Eg working hard and neglecting family and friends, not going to church.
Jesus shows us the full picture, listen to Him, cherish the word today. Amen!
