Of David.To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
LORD, two thoughts as I read this Psalm. The first is not so much the ridicule of those who refuse to trust in you as it is my fear that I will stand and will allow the witness of my trust to waver.
The second is a prayer for those who wantonly disobey Your Word, but continue to claim the mantle of Christianity. Cause the disobedient among the Church to be consumed by shame. I pray that the unfaithful will be driven to seek Your face.

Morning: Psalm 150
