Pleasing or Appeasing

 

Today's verse is Psalm 17:8-9

     Keep me as the apple of the eye,

      Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

     From the wicked that oppress me,

      From my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

    Truly, what would you rather, to please God, the creator of Heaven and Earth? Or would you rather appease your neighbour, who knows not God, but is angry at him night and day? Have you looked and considered Jeremiah? God promised to keep him, and though he suffered affliction, which we all must, indeed, God kept him alive to an old age, long past the fall of Jerusalem, and the unrepentant hearts of those that where left in Judah. So, will you Trust in the Lord thy God, that he may direct your paths. Selah [Consider, and choose wisely.] Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
