DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds—his name is the Lord—be exultant before him. (Psalm 68: 1-4)

Who are the enemies of God? They are those who lie, who twist reality, who cause confusion.

I am an enemy of God when I seek my supposed self-interest at the expense of others. I am an enemy of God when I seek to deny God's purpose. I am an enemy of God when I fail to love.

Who are the righteous? They are those who seek the truth, who embrace reality, and who love even the enemies of God.
