Voices Together is taken from my daily meditations, primarily on the Psalms. However, from time to time, I will include a meditation on the practical implications of the Law as I seek to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes or take my covenant on your lips? For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you. If you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and you keep company with adulterers. "You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.
Is this deceit is me? Am I guilty of slandering my brother and yet claiming to live in your covenant? Do I encourage thieves and adulterers to continue in their evil ways? Do I fight against your holy and just discipline? Quicken the ears of my heart, give me the willingness to listen to Your Holy Spirit as He guides me into all truth.
