Psalm 36

The first four verses of this one hit home. How often have I walked into sin and then gotten so caught up in an attitude of arrogance and denial that I can't (or won't) see the evil it is?

Too many times.

It begins to consume me and I don't care. This psalm points out that I am, in fact, wicked.

Now contrast that with the overpowering vision of God's love for His people. Wickedness brings a claustrophobic feeling, but the love of God is all about the expansive views from under His wings.

The psalm asks, it seems, how can one see the love of God and it's freedom, yet still choose sin and it's captivity?
