Trample my life?

Anyone who loves Psalms? For me they keep on surprising me. Worship songs don't do it to me as what David has composed. Read this:

"O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust." Psalm 7:3-5

And yes, David got that experience, a couple of times.. So who dares to sing a song like this or pray such a prayer???

Rich

Rich Mullins has influenced me a lot. To live radically for God, to follow Jesus' footsteps ain't easy. I love it that he lived a life that full of following Christ, in honesty and open. To be critical towards yourself, the church and others, but knowing that God's love is bigger than any of our mistakes and shortcomings. I want to live a life like that.



Rich Mullins heeft mij veel beinvloed. Om radicaal voor God te leven, om Jezus zijn voetstappen te volgen is niet makkelijk. Ik vind het geweldig dat hij een leven had dat vol is van het volgen van Christus, in alle eerlijk en open. Om kritisch te zijn naar jezelf, de kerk en andere mensen, maar wetende dat Gods liefde groter is dan al onze fouten en tekortkomingen. Ik wil leven zoals dat.
