A bunch of begats: 1 Chronicles 4:5-5:17
More on Paul’s trail: Acts 25:1-27
Throat like a grave: Psalm 5:1-12
Offended like a barred gate: Proverbs 18:19
You know, David had to go through a lot of mess. A lot of folks wanted to kill him, at different times in his life.
And in today’s Psalm he pleaded with God to help him from his enemies’ attacks. Yet he wasn’t talking about the sword. He was talking about their words.
Verse 6 has “those who tell lies”. Verse 9 has “not a word from their mouth can be trusted”. That same verse has, “their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.”
We, as Christians, need to watch what we say about others. It’s not our place to stir up a bunch of mess toward people, even if they’ve done us wrong.
