Judge me, O Lord,
for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted in the Lord;
I will not slip.

 

 

King David messes up a lot. Great passion that is misdirected into sin. When this same passion works for God, he’s on fire in a good way…

7:6 Arise, O Lord, in anger!

Stand up against the fury of my enemies!
Wake up, my God, and bring justice!

King David is a man “after God’s own heart.” (Acts 13:22)

They are on friendship terms. This is why it doesn’t seem irreverent to say, “Wake up!”

Who hasn’t woken up a good friend? In this case, of course, God isn’t sleeping. He’s just not working on David’s schedule.

Good friends are patient, too…

When you are frustrated with a friend, what is the best approach to let the know?
