Psalm 35

enemies without cause (a phrase from Psalm 35:19)
sometimes it just seems that way.
for no reason whatsoever...
without provocation...
you feel like charlie brown and you just can't win.
there's no reason...
there's no logic...
there's no...cause
they are just enemies, and rightfully labeled "without cause".

it struck me this morning as i was reading this psalm with the staff that there really isn't anything to do about them except draw closer to the Lord. perhaps that's the point.
God created logic and order and balance in His world. He created reason, wisdom and intelligence. all of those brain-functions direct us to Him.
and yet, we see that even the things (or people) that don't use their brains should direct us to Him. despite the aggravation of it all, it's a win-win situation for you and your Maker.

when things go well, go well with Him; when things aren't going well, go well with Him.
when people build you up, be closer to Him; when people tear you down, you'll find Him there, too.

Lord Jesus, i still want You to get these crazies, these enemies without cause out of my life. they annoy me. but, through them, draw me to You. and, let me draw them to You on my way up.
