DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 22; Isaiah 15-16; 2 Thessalonians 1

 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! Psalm 139:17

 

As David considered the omnipresence, the omniscience, and omnipotence of God he sided with Him concerning wickedness. David could not be complacent concerning those opposing God’s righteousness. God’s name was being blasphemed and David was grieved by it (Ps. 139:41); God’s enemies had become David’s enemies. The only way that believers can develop a deepening hatred of sin is to know the character of God and how offended He is by sin. Then we too will pray like David, “Search me, O God… and see if there be any wicked way in me” (Psalm 139:23, 24). —Warren A. Henderson

Thy thoughts, O God how manifold, more precious unto me than gold!
I muse on their infinity, awaking I am still with Thee.—Psalter
