We&#8217;re born into a world that &#8220;lieth in the wicked one.&#8221;  The political, cultural, educational and every other system, in spite of thwir attempts to be righteous are tainted with sins and iniquities from the past, the violent homelife, the smarmy television, noisy barrios and lack of adequate food, water and money all leave us damaged goods, not to mention our own sin.  How do we restore a soul that entered into this world, a sinner, yes, by definition but not by practice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One prophet suggests that we focus on the Psalms, all 150 fo them. Let&#8217;s look at Psalms 39, 41-42 in The Message translation, known for street speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Psalm 39 The Message<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>39&nbsp;<\/strong><sup>1-3&nbsp;<\/sup>I\u2019m determined to watch steps and tongue<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so they won\u2019t land me in trouble.<br>I decided to hold my tongue<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as long as Wicked is in the room.<br>\u201cMum\u2019s the word,\u201d I said, and kept quiet.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But the longer I kept silence<br>The worse it got\u2014<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my insides got hotter and hotter.<br>My thoughts boiled over;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I spilled my guts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>4-6&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cTell me, what\u2019s going on,&nbsp;God?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How long do I have to live?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Give me the bad news!<br>You\u2019ve kept me on pretty short rations;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my life is a string too short to be saved.<br>Oh! we\u2019re all puffs of air.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh! we\u2019re all shadows in a campfire.<br>Oh! we\u2019re just spit in the wind.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We make our pile, and then we leave it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>7-11&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cWhat am I doing in the meantime, Lord?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Hoping<\/em>, that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing\u2014hoping<br>You\u2019ll save me from a rebel life,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;save me from the contempt of idiots.<br>I\u2019ll say no more, I\u2019ll shut my mouth,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;since you, Lord, are behind all this.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I can\u2019t take it much longer.<br>When you put us through the fire<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to purge us from our sin,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our dearest idols go up in smoke.<br>Are we also nothing but smoke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>12-13\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cAh,\u00a0God, listen to my prayer, my<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0cry\u2014open your ears.<br>Don\u2019t be callous;<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0just look at these tears of mine.<br>I\u2019m a stranger here. I don\u2019t know my way\u2014<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a migrant like my whole family.<br>Give me a break, cut me some slack<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0before it\u2019s too late and I\u2019m out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who might think this is an interpretation, recall that the author, Eugene Peterson, is a translator.  He translated many different editions including the one used by Bible societies across the globe because it confines itself to common speech and well known words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David complains that he tried to watch his tongue and things got worse.  Then he complains to God about his situation. This constitutes 90% of prayer I suspect. It is the miseries that drive us to our knees, after we have sought out help from relatives, the government, the medical profession &#8211; we&#8217;re at the end of a rope where there has been no help.  This describes the Psalms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">David explains that the fires of trouble are done to burn up our idols of sex, money and power, just to mention the main ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> When you put us through the fire<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0to purge us from our sin,<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0our dearest idols go up in smoke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire is always explained as God&#8217;s judgment, as in Isaiah 47:14-15. When we recognize that God is not dealing with us as much as dealing with the wicked things in this world, it should help us to agree with with what God is doing and not fight Him at every point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Isaiah 47:14-15 The Message<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>14-15\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cFat chance. You\u2019d be grasping at straws<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0that are already in the fire,<br>A fire that is even now raging.<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Your \u2018experts\u2019 are in it and won\u2019t get out.<br>It\u2019s not a fire for cooking venison stew,<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0not a fire to warm you on a winter night!<br>That\u2019s the fate of your friends in sorcery, your magicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of what is happening in America is the result of deliberate curses and witchcraft, something the Media never covers nor thinks important. Materialists teach that the invisible world either doesn&#8217;t exist or is of little importance. Science is debunking that now; we all know how essential invisible DNA is to us. It literally defines who we are.  And sometimes what we do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psalm 41 brings ups new issues and new solutions. In this case David has been mistreated by others.  He is the victim of gossip and lies. He seeks vindication from God; he also acknowledges that his sins have damaged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Psalm 41 The Message<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>41&nbsp;<\/strong><sup>1-3&nbsp;<\/sup>Dignify those who are down on their luck;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you\u2019ll feel good\u2014<em>that\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;what&nbsp;God&nbsp;does.<br>God&nbsp;looks after us all,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;makes us robust with life\u2014<br>Lucky to be in the land,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we\u2019re free from enemy worries.<br>Whenever we\u2019re sick and in bed,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;God&nbsp;becomes our nurse,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nurses us back to health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>4-7&nbsp;<\/sup>I said, \u201cGod, be gracious!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Put me together again\u2014<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my sins have torn me to pieces.\u201d<br>My enemies are wishing the worst for me;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they make bets on what day I will die.<br>If someone comes to see me,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he mouths empty platitudes,<br>All the while gathering gossip about me<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to entertain the street-corner crowd.<br>These \u201cfriends\u201d who hate me<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whisper slanders all over town.<br>They form committees<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to plan misery for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>8-9&nbsp;<\/sup>The rumor goes out, \u201cHe\u2019s got some dirty,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;deadly disease. The doctors<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;have given up on him.\u201d<br>Even my best friend, the one I always told everything<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2014he ate meals at my house all the time!\u2014<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has bitten my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>10&nbsp;<\/sup>God, give grace, get me up on my feet.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019ll show them a thing or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>11-12&nbsp;<\/sup>Meanwhile, I\u2019m sure you\u2019re on my side\u2014<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no victory shouts yet from the enemy camp!<br>You know me inside and out, you hold me together,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you never fail to stand me tall in your presence<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so I can look you in the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>Blessed is\u00a0God, Israel\u2019s God,<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0always, always, always.<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Yes. Yes. Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blame is common to man, but God always expects restoration to follow forgiveness. He cannot deal with your enemies until you have forgiven them and then come to Him for redress. Those who take revenge are taking God&#8217;s business out of His hands.  It won&#8217;t work; in fact it can make everything worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In every case, David repeats the blessings of God, how God will change, restore and correct. In fact, other than the promises of God what do we have? Restoring the soul comes by believing and acting upon the written word. It is the One Stable Reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy these articles please subscribe and then honor us with comments.\u00a0 We provide Think Pieces for a public on the brink of mammoth changes and we need all hands-on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9CorneliaScottCree.com.
