Conflict

Psalm 2
Why do the nations conspire,
and the people plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take council together,
against the Lord

Psalm 10
Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor -
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

For the wicked boast of the desires of their heart,
those greedy for gain curse & renounce the Lord.

Psalm 36
Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in their hearts;
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.
For they flatter themselves
in their own eyes
that their iniquity cannot be
found out and hated.
The words of their mouths
are mischief & deceit;
they have ceased to act wisely & do good.
They plot mischief while on their beds:
they are set on a way that is not good;
they do not reject evil.

This is the physical wall between Israel & the West Bank. There isn't a photo of the  political & psychological wall & it's much harder to pull down.


I'm not a Christian in the normal sense. I believe in spirituality & a moral code. I just happened to hear a bit of this morning's radio service & a psalm was quoted. That led me to look for it in the Bible. That led me to these. I don't know when they were written, but it seems to me that they have great meaning in the world as it is today.
