Psalm 64

Psa 64:6 They devise iniquities: "We have perfected a shrewd scheme." Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

Psalm 2 talks about man, coming together, to scheme against the Lord. This chapter seems to continue the thought. Man schemes until he has perfected his idea. He makes sure there is no kink in the armor. He enters the place of total contentment in this world.

However, we are told that the Lord will shoot them down as with an arrow. I think of Babylon, Persia, and Rome. There perfect world would one day fall.

Truly man’s heart is deep. It can devise the most complicated ideas. We weave our thoughts until hey are made strong. We try to grow content in the things of this world. Know this, if you have made a commitment to Christ, and you grow content with the world, He will take away. Do not get angry with the Lord. Our contentment is to be found in Him and Him alone.
