Lord, the psalmist realized if he were to maintain the integrity of his relationship with You, he needed to distance himself from some people who seemed to thrive in vulgarity and crudeness. To these hardened degenerates, nothing was sacred. Attempts to share the grace of God and His compassion for their redemption from sin only brought personal vilifications and mocking of all things holy.
“I hate all who deal crookedly, [immorally]” he said in disgust. “I will have nothing to do with them,” (Psalm 101:3). Prayers for their salvation were mandatory, but separations from their influence was necessary.
Surely today, with the Gospel being spread throughout the world and multitudes are coming to You, these godless attitudes have diminished, haven’t they? Sadly, no. Evil is still rampant in this broken world. As Christ-followers, may we be faithful to pray for these poor souls, whose arrogance to Your amazing love and grace has blinded them of their eternal destiny.
Forgive me, Lord, since most times I’m so put off by their amoral behaviors I’ve failed to ask You to intervene in their lives. People prayed for me, so Lord, keep reminding me that for some lost souls, I may be the only one praying for them.
That’s sobering. Amen
THANKFUL
