A Lesson From Psalm 36
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and the other day I took my rug to be washed and repaired. It was starting to fray where my wheelchair has almost worn it threadbare. When I unrolled my rug at the store, the dealer examined it and quoted me a price I thought was too high. And I did not like his take-it-or-leave-it attitude, but I went with it. Yet, that night as I lay in bed, I imagined going back to the store and not liking the repair job they would do. In my head, I started arguing with the dealer; I felt myself getting angrier and finally I said in my head: “And I will never recommend your store again!” All this, and I hadn’t even seen the rug! That’s when the Holy Spirit whispered Psalm 36: “On their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course.” Oh, my goodness! That verse isn’t talking about drug dealers or embezzlers. Uh, uh; it was talking about me. So, let’s remember – when God’s Word speaks, it’s rarely about those wicked others, and it’s usually about us.
