How say ye to my soul...?
The Brother who introduced the first service
yesterday read and exhorted the little church from the eleventh Psalm.
David's disgust at the
preposterous suggestion stirred my heart...
Psalm 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to
my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they
make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
There is an intense disgust and indignation in
David's words, "How say ye to my soul" against the impudent
suggestion, "Flee as a bird to your mountain."
How is the mountain even comparable to the
LORD as a refuge? Evil is your insolent insinuation.
Deuteronomy 33:27 KJT — The eternal God is thy
refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the
enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
2 Samuel 22:3 KJT — The God of my rock; in
him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower,
and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Psalm 46:1 KJ — God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 91:2 KJT — I will say of the LORD, He
is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Psalm 94:22 KJT — But the LORD is my defence;
and my God is the rock of my refuge.
Why picture me as a panicking little bird?
All the more I need to find refuge in the house of the Lord!
Psalm 84 KJT
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the
courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and
the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars,
O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
May our hearts be filled with holy disgust
and indignation when foolish and evil opinions are set before us.
In the LORD, we trust. May the LORD keep us trusting in Him. Amen..
