April 20 : Psalm 55

But you, O God, will bring down the wicked
into the pit of corruption;
bloodthirsty and deceitful men
will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I trust in you.
Living a wicked life is so easy. I think its human nature to live a wicked life right? But we as Christians must try as hard as we can to stay away from wickedness. Everyday we are bombarded with the things of the world, its so easy. But as David says, the wicked will be thrown into the pit of corruption - hell. We must choose to be faithful to God and trust he will take care of all things. This world tells us to be bloodthirsty. In this capitalistic society we are told that the strong will survive. The sky is the limit - do whatever it takes to get there. If you have to lie here and there to get ahead its permissible. But what I admire about David is that he really tried to be faithful. He wasn't perfect, we know he messed up big time in a couple instances. But what we can tell from his psalms is that he really loved God. He was after all given the name: the man after Gods own heart. Let us try to be like this!
