Psalm 52:5 God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living.
When I read verses like this I am both encouraged and discouraged!
I am encouraged to know God thinks of little old me in such a big way that He is willing to change so much just to make sure I know Him and His ways.
I am discouraged to know there are people who are willing to throw it all away just to get their own way instead of aligning themselves with God.
God’s ways are good whereas our own desires and ways are inherently corrupt. Trust God.
