David had many of the same thoughts we read about throughout the entire Bible! But in contrast to these, David anchors his thoughts with this comment: “I want to do what pleases you, my God. Your law dominates my thoughts.” Is this true of you and me? Does the Word dominate our thoughts and then proceed to our actions? If that were true, then we would not be like Sodom and Gomorrah’s residents. But, the call of the evil one is ever before us and we often do not reject it as we saw in the life of Lot. Peter says he is righteous but they who are righteous choose to not follow their ways. Psalm 1 gives us the standards: we choose to not walk, stand or sit in the counsel of the unrighteous.
I struggle with Peter’s assessment of Lot, do you? I have to trust God in this.
And then we have this verse: “enemies ask this cruel question about me, “When will he finally die and be forgotten?” The Pharisees were like this. They wanted to not have Christ before them but He is here and He is not forgotten! Praise God for that truth.
