Live Justly in the Reign of God
Hear and Do the Word
2 Samuel 22:26-31
The Message
26-28 You stick by people who stick with you,
you’re straight with people who’re straight with you,
You’re good to good people,
you shrewdly work around the bad ones.
You take the side of the down-and-out,
but the stuck-up you take down a peg.
you’re straight with people who’re straight with you,
You’re good to good people,
you shrewdly work around the bad ones.
You take the side of the down-and-out,
but the stuck-up you take down a peg.
29-31 Suddenly, God, your light floods my path,
God drives out the darkness.
I smash the bands of marauders,
I vault the high fences.
What a God! His road
stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.
God drives out the darkness.
I smash the bands of marauders,
I vault the high fences.
What a God! His road
stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.
For Reflection
Know the Way! Trust the Way! Walk the Way!
Pray
that
you will obey the will of God as shown in the Life of Christ! Pray
that your life will be guided by the truths of compassion and justice.
Pray that you will have the shrewdness to work around obstacles so that
your action is as God-driven as your intent.
