Summer Road Trip ‘08
Day Fifty-two
“Telling ‘em off!”
Psalm 52:1
“You call yourself a hero, do you?””

There are times when honking the horn is appropriate. Another traveler on the journey starts behaving erratically and endangers the rest of us. We hate to speak up for fear that we will appear judgmental or overly “religious”, yet neither is true – we are being honest, truthful.

Like the author of Psalm 52, there are times when we have to stand up to those who are speaking to hurt others. The warning (during those times when we must speak up) is to trust in God’s unfailing love. Don’t trust in your own ability to strike out at the other person. Don’t gloat over the other person’s “fall”; instead trust in God’s justice and mercies. Stand for what is godly and right – just don’t play God.

Enjoy the Journey,
Paul
