What is Your Choice? Psalms 1-5

Contentment can never be found by associating one’s self with evil people. The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. In spite of grace, wicked choose ruin. At the End of Days Messiah will judge evil.

Fear is real  as our enemies are numerous. Our fear must drive us to the Lord. God's sovereignty answers fears as Martin Luther wrote in his “A Manual on the Book of Psalms,” “ No peril is so great, no death so instant, from which he cannot deliver his own, if they but call upon him in true faith, and flee unto him alone.” (Pg. 31 translated by Henry Cole) When we call to the Lord, He gives Justice. The Almighty does not pleasure in pain
