Psalm 64

The righteous one rejoices in the LORD
and takes refuge in him;
All those who are upright in heart
will offer praise.

There are people who are aligned with God – who desire to be righteous before Him, to be upright in heart; they desire that their motives and actions will honor and bring praise to the Lord.

David longed for that.

But he also realized that there are people whose very existence is centered on the destruction of those seeking to follow the Lord. They lay traps for them, scheme against them.

I believe that is true today. The enemy, Satan, is still scheming, longing to entrap those who would follow Christ, seek to know Him, desire His righteousness.

Satan longs to destroy that.

But my Lord is a refuge when I am threatened, a protector when I am pursued.

Praise God for His righteousness.

This week’s image is from Psalm 65. This is NOT the final illustration, but an early version that I wasn’t too pleased with – but it gave me direction for the final (we’ll share that tomorrow.)
