Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression. Psalm 19:13
Yesterday in our weekly small group fellowship we were looking at Job 13:1-12. Job’s friends have heard of his suffering and came to comfort him. At first they sit with him in silence, for a week, perplexed and pained to see their good friend thus.
The world has increasingly grown averse to the truth. We run with rumors and scoff at the truth. We hate correction, repulse honest rebuke and loathe any absolute Truth claim that discomforts us in any way. As the Master said, we love darkness and loathe every appearance of light (John 3:19-21).
Amidst the daily noise around me, You speak
With a forceful nudge my hardened walls You breach
Recoiled into my dead heart You find me
Insistent on my idolatry You still reach me
