Meditations From The Psalms, Part 9

"The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law." - Psalm 119:85

We cannot escape doing battle with proud and difficult people in this world. You may have it at work, the church, or with members of your own family. People will attack us on many fronts, but the psalmist, in the surrounding verses, remains steadfast in God's Word. This is where we will find our strength and perspective. We will learn when to confront and when to remain silent. True testimony is revealed when we respond biblically to the proud and haughty of this world. That's the way I see things.
