"You Are A Wonder" Psalm 139 Series - Part 17 | Malcolm Cox | Quiet Time Coaching Episode 551

Season 2, Episode 2251,   Dec 26, 2024, 02:00 AM

Today, we look at verses nineteen to twenty-two of the Psalm.

“O that you would kill the wicked, O God, and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me—
those who speak of you maliciously, and lift themselves up against you for evil!
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.”

Suggestions
If you sense a struggle, can you offer it to God in prayer and ask him for strength to be decisive? Pray for the courage to distance yourself from unhelpful or harmful influences and to stand firm in your loyalty to God.
