"Pleasantly Sweet"

"When the judges are overthrown in story places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet." (Psalms 141:6)

   There are some things that I feel are just too hard to express with words, especially when they really do not make any sense, whatsoever! As I was watching Fox and Friends this morning, they were showing side-by-side video of those in Congress speaking against the President and the President at his rally in Detroit. Ten or fifteen seconds of a accusation would be shown, followed by about ten seconds of something the President was saying at the rally. What completely and utterly different points of view! Then, as if there was something more that could be conjured up, the Speaker was shown making some kind of a threat to hold onto the Articles of Impeachment until the Senate is made somehow a better playing field to judge in their favor. I am pretty sure this Country has seen the last of our democracy; those that hold the power, become more powerful by ruling the people! This is not something to get worried or upset over; it is simply just another example of what the last days we live in look like, so do as President Trump said in the beginning of the year: "Hold on and enjoy the ride!" As I was reading this verse this morning, I could not help but think of what Jesus said as He was scolded by the Pharisees, as He made His triumphant entry into the city, riding on a colt. They scolded Him for not rebuking all of His disciples for saying, "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven and glory in the highest." Jesus replied to their request by saying, "I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." (Luke 19:40)
We might not understand everything that is going on, nor do we need to. People ask us, "How can a loving God allow all of this pain and suffering?" What is there to say, except that it is the result of the choices made by man's wicked heart. God wants us to live a certain way, but man chooses something totally different; how is that God's fault? In a strange and subtle way, this is the way I see this verse, and why it is so hard to express in words; because the illustration of God's love cannot be contained in words, just like it is hard to express how all of this makes any sense! God loves us, and it is up to us to believe that He loves us, however difficult it is to understand; He proved His love by sending His Son to die for us, and for that, there are not enough words to express...

"Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk on the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming as a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices , acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded." (1 Peter 2:1-6)
