The Scorn of Neighboring Neighbors
Psalms 80-85
“You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.” Psalms 80:6 NLT I honestly feel like this is how the US is being viewed by others at this place in the story.
“But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.” Psalms 82:5 NLT
This is my truth: “A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in You.” Psalms 84:10, 12 NLT
