At the age of 40, God showed me the true meaning of Servanthood.
THE BOOMERANG GOD
“The Lord is famous for the way he punishes the wicked in their own snares!” (Ps. 9:16 TLB).
Yes, very famous indeed. It is a hallmark of God. When you see someone receive on his own head the very evil he foisted on someone else, it is immediately recognizable as God’s retribution upon that evildoer: He gets what he dished out. That is the boomerang justice of God. Here are a couple of ways it is described in the Bible:
“As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head” (Ob. 15).
Psalm 6
A psalm of someone in deep trouble. This much is clear.
6:1: “O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.”
Into the valley of the shadow of death.

A brief testimony
2Co 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
In the beginning of 2011, I began to suffer with an extreme depression…
I don’t know who I am or which path I should be on, but I do know a lot is being thrown my way and it all started before I can remember. My parents weren’t church goers but there were many times I went to church with others I knew while growing up. I believe strongly in God but my life events have left me feeling lost and confused and fearful. Growing up I was feared psychic and mediums or anything that related to witchcraft, including an ouija board my mom bought me when I was young. She thought it was only an imaginary game and I never touched it thinking it was a curse in a box.
Psalm 5
5:1: “Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing.”
Another psalm in which the psalmist bares his soul to the Lord. And once again his lament and pain of heart is that so many reject God and do not honor him with the praise and glory he deserves.
It was the weekend and I had a bit too much to drink at my friends 25th birthday party in New York City. I don’t recollect leaving the bar and I when I reached my apt in NYC, three guys including a girl helped me to the apt (they came right inside the apt where I live with my sister). When I woke up in the afternoon, I realized my watch and Ipod on me and so was a $110 in cash from my wallet missing. The shades in my apartment which I had recently purchased for $275 was also missing.
This is the fourth in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 4< 4:1:“Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.”
At first, this might seem to be another plea for help from God to deliver the psalmist from his troubling plight. There are, after all, many such psalms and God himself invites us to do this very thing, to turn to him in our troubles and seek his help: He wants to be our God, who helps us in our time of need:
This is the third in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 3
We may tend to forget how dire were the circumstances faced by the real people of the Bible. Here in Psalm three, David is in fear for his life, as even his own son Absalom has risen up against him. And Absalom had many with him, those he had craftily stolen away from his father, king David. David shows his real fear and concern for the situation in his cry to God:
3:1“O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!”
This is the second in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 2
The psalm begins with an incredulous question posed by the godly writer, who sees with the eyes of God beyond time and the limited vision of the world:
2:1: “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?”
