Scripture Post #2,024: *WHY MISCHIEF?*

 

Psalms 52:1: 

“[[To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalmof David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.]] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.”

“Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endurethcontinually.” In other words: “Why take excessive participation in sin and Godlessness, when we have GOD’s enduring, continuous goodness to feast on?”

The pleasure of sin is temporary. It masks the underlying problems we face. It often leaves others damaged. It forfeits many from GOD’s blessings. It’s sorely costly with eternal consequences. But GOD’s way is good. And His pleasures are infinitive! Leaving His participants guiltless, shame-free, confidant, joyous and victorious!
