Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.  From their callous hearts comes iniquity;  the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.  They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression(Psalm 73:6-9).

Such lovely people, hmm?

This is what happens when folks trade the Lord of the Universe for the god of Self.  Without the Holy One in your heart, there is nothing more important than your own desires and plans and achievements and stuff. You become your own god; you make your own rules.  The results are predictable.

Point to chew on as you move into your weekend, where you will likely encounter some of these people: God knows that they’re there.  You don’t need to point them out to him, or share your plan for bringing them down.  

He already has a plan, but it’s not a Search and Destroy kinda plan.

It’s more of a Seek and Save.

And you, Beloved, are a rescue hero.

Happy Friday
