Psalm 11, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #250

MEMORY VERSE: "Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10

NOTES:*Ok SOMEHOW my chapters don't align with the QT...so this is the actual Psalm 11, yesterday's was Psalm 10..so confused.

In the LORD I take refuge.
   How then can you say to me:
   “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
² For look, the wicked bend their bows;
   they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
   at the upright in heart.
³ When the foundations are being destroyed,
   what can the righteous do?”

 ⁴ The LORD is in his holy temple;
   the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
   his eyes examine them.
⁵ The LORD examines the righteous,
   but the wicked, those who love violence,
   he hates with a passion.
⁶ On the wicked he will rain
   fiery coals and burning sulfur;
   a scorching wind will be their lot.

 ⁷ For the LORD is righteous,
   he loves justice;
   the upright will see his face.

This passage seems the emphasize the difference between worldly strength (of the wicked/evil--v2-3) and heavenly power (v.4-7). Even if the wicked destroy foundations & shoot arrows at the hearts of the righteous, God's refuge is one so powerful that nothing else can even compare. I mean if you even just compare "arrows against the strings"(v.2) of the wicked VS raining "fiery coals and burning sulfer; a scorching wind..."(v6) everyone would obviously side with the latter. Thank God that He loves justice & is so powerful! :)

ACT OF LOVE: Today, I held open a door for a family with alot of young children as I was exiting Del Amo Mall.

Also, I baked some delicious peanut butter blossom cup cookies with my sister for my family & friends! They are delicious!!
