"Conspicuous"

"For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue." (Psalms 109:2)

 This is pretty obvious, that is what I am trying to say; just in case you are asking. But seriously, don't you see the pattern and the flow from one point to the next? or is it just me? I have got to know, I'm I off my rocker or what? Yesterday's verse was going to be visited again, but I felt God was saying that I said enough. There are some things that are better left unsaid, to let people figure them out on their own; that way it makes more sense to them and they don't try to unwind and humanize what the Spirit might reveal in their hearts. But I will say one thing extra: We truly don't have a clue when it comes to how God works and thinks; "Like the blind leading the blind," is what my mother would always say. The most important thing we need to remember is that it is about God's promises! What He says is what matters the most, regardless of our unfaithfulness and stumbling around in the dark, He has chosen those that are His, because of His goodness towards us, not because we are good people. That said, we most surely have an enemy that is jealous and sick with hatred for us; so sick, that he can't see the writing on the wall or the end that is in sight. Sad to say, he has blinded the hearts and minds of many around us to the same truth; which makes it become something spiritual, not analytical; it is beyond human reasoning! There is such a measurable difference between those that are children of God and those that are not. The two types of people David speaks of here, are those that refuse to accept God and those that pretend to accept God; both of which are bent on making their own ways to be right, even though they are obviously not. There is just no other way to see it played out; if a person wants to be right, even though they are wrong, then the only thing that they can do is lie and make stuff up. If it is not something they have made up themselves, then they are just repeating what someone else has made up; even still, it is just the same lie; but the more it is repeated, the more it is believed to be truth, no matter how stupid it might appear...

"Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest's courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end. Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus so they could put him to death. But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone's testimony. Finally, two men came forward who declared, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'" Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Well, aren't you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?" But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I demand in the name of the living God -tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God." Jesus replied, "You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothing to show horror and said, "Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?" "Guilty!" they shouted. "He deserves to die!"" (Matthew 26:58-66) NLT
