Knowing Which Side To Choose

 

Today's verse is Psalm 140:8

     Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked:

      Further not his wicked device;

      Lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

    As I was reading today, I saw in Joshua that the people of the land, seeing the destruction of Jericho and Ai, gathered themselves together in hope to resist what God was going to do unto them. Yet four cities, Fearing God, sought a way to survive. Consider now this prayer of David, and consider what God said he will do, then know that though he will give the wicked space for a season, that season is short, and then shall the wicked thinking that they have exulted themselves shall fall by the hand of the Lord. In truth, how have the mighty fallen, and great is the fall of them. So as Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim chose to side with the People of God and survive, if even as servants. Will you also choose the gift provided by the Son of God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, who died for your sin, and Rose up from the Grave that you might be forgiven, and Justified before a Righteous and Holy God? Selah [Think on such things.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
