A reflection on Psalm 99

March 20, 2016 by Chris Gribble

99

Arrogance shakes his puny fist at Truth,
He always prefers his own lies,
God’s reality is evident everywhere,
Under him everything is in it’s right place,
Disruption begins from prides voice,
That seeks to control fate,
A task that ends in hopeless despair.

I love seeking what is good,
This is God’s first love,
It allows truth to be heard,
While arrogance seeks only for his own good,
With no concern for the wounds inflicted,
But, God’s voice will not be silenced for long,
His truth is waiting to be shouted to the earth.

God’s truth became my truth,
When I heard his words of forgiveness,
They doused arrogance’s hate words,
The daily put downs that came from his pride,
Arrogance was pushed to the back,
His pitiful jibes bouncing off love’s response,
I am eternally thankful to God’s call to me,
That brought truth’s voice into my life.
