Tuesday

Scripture lesson: Psalm 69:6-9 Don't let me be an embarrassment

Time to reflect: In reality this is a shrewed bargaining ploy on the part of the psalmist. If he, a faithful follower of God, suffers that won't look good for God, therefore God should fix the problem. But we can say back to the psalmist, that it the way he handles adversity that truly reflects on God.

Moving through the day: Do you just expect God to fix things for you do you handle things in admirable way?

May those who hope in you
       not be disgraced because of me,
       O Lord, the LORD Almighty;
       may those who seek you
       not be put to shame because of me,
       O God of Israel.

  For I endure scorn for your sake,
       and shame covers my face.

  I am a stranger to my brothers,
       an alien to my own mother's sons;

 for zeal for your house consumes me,
       and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
