Psalm 109:1-13

Psalm 109:1-13
Contemporary English Version (CEV) 

  We will find disagreement in the world.  We find it in our families, in our churches, in our workplaces and our communities.  There are countless opportunities to disagree, from what we're having for dinner to whether or not to exercise a business transaction.
  On top of that, there are people who oppose us for what we believe, people who try and tear us down by their words and actions.  This can be so incredibly discouraging, because it often seems as though there is no way out.
  It is hard to live, but when we put our faith fully in God, we need not be in such fear, because we value our own lives through God's eyes, rather than the world's, and we recognize that we are precious & treasured by God.
  As Augstine said, 'God loves you as if there was only one to love'.
 
  May we find our value in God
