Pastor's meditation. . . Rev. Gene Hip*kind Nappanee Church of the Brethren

PSALMS Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? Especially by people who didn’t like you? Then have you had the struggle of wanting to get back at them but believing you shouldn’t? This is your Psalm! It is the prayer of a person who has been falsely accused of something and he wants God’s help in healing and in guiding him. The movement of the prayer is a beautiful example of how we can come to God and be healed and helped. The writer begins with humbleness-“consider my inmost thoughts.” The writer acknowledges that he, too, can be guilty and needs God’s forgiveness. Verses 5-7 shows he knows it is by the grace of God that he can be accepted and his concerns heard. In verse 8 he admits his strugglepeople are falsely accusing him and he is tempted to do wrong. In these situations we, too, are tempted either to get back at our accusers or to just go ahead and do what we are accused of doing. The honesty of the

psalmist helps me to be honest. "Lead me, Lord, in thy righteousness; help me to live so that their accusations remain false.” s In verse 10 we find something that seems closer to the New Testament than to the Old. We often assume that in the Old Testament everyone believed in “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Thus, this prayer should read: “Lord, help me to bring ruin on them; help me to cast them out.” Instead, the writer refuses to fight fire with fire. He asks God to take care of them. Now that may not sound completely New Testament as “loving our enemies,” but it does put venegeance where it really belongsin God’s hands, NOT our own. Having been honest to God and for asking God’s help and strength rather than relying on his own, the psalmist experiences forgiveness, love, and healing from God. His prayer ends with shouts of joy and peace. Thus, a prayer that began with cries now ends with joy. If we pray honestly and in this style, we too, can experience God’s love and healing for us.
