Last week's verse:
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
keep watch over the door of my lips!
keep watch over the door of my lips!
Do not let my heart incline to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
Psalm 141:3-4a
This week's verse:
Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
Psalm 141:5
Right now I am quite font of this passage. It is full of things that I need to work on. This week's verse especially so. This type-A first born hates to be wrong. I especially hate when it is pointed out to me--in a derogatory way. Not that I respond too great when I am shown in love either. I understand that verse 5 is speaking of a righteous man doing the rebuking but whether the person be righteous or not I should respond with grace. Proverbs speaks of the wise man or righteous man who listens to counsel or rebuke((Pr 27:5). It also speak of the fool who looses his temper( Pr. 29:11) I'll tack on this one because this is all what it boils down to Pr. 29:23.
How have these verse of Scripture affected you this week or even last week?
