Episode 88: Psalm 5

Today's meditation is on Psalm 5

I cry out passionately to God. My King and my God considers my every word as I call out to him.

At each and every sunrise God hears my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to him. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar
and watch and wait for his fire to fall as he speaks to my heart.

I know that God is never pleased with lawlessness, and evil ones will never be invited into his house. Boasters collapse. Liars and evildoers are brought to an end. God hates hypocrisy and despises all who love violence.

But I know that I am invited and welcomed into the house of the Lord. I am covered by the abundance of his covenant of steadfast love and tender mercy. I come before him with deepest awe to obediently bow in worship and adore him.

God leads me in the pathways of his pleasure just like he promised me that he would. He smooths out his road in front of me, straight and direct, so that I will know where to walk.

I turn away from the smooth-tongued deceivers who flatter with their words. Their own schemes will be their downfall. The guilt of their sins will collapse on top of them.

But I take refuge and put my trust in God, and he welcomes me with open arms. I hide myself in the Lord and will continue shouting for joy forever! I am overshadowed and sheltered in his presence as I sing and rejoice. I burst forth with endless joy. How wonderfully God blesses me. His favor wraps around me as a shield and I am covered under his canopy of kindness and joy.
