Everyone has their own biases. They have political, social , likes and dislikes. When we hear something that does not agree with our biases we may choose to complain or be silently upset. But Gods love and wrath are not bias. We can escape our feelings in the pronouncements
If God writes the Psalms in pronouncements and commands us to meditate on them.If we ignore pronouncing the curses against our opposition and instead use other means to oppose sin then we are chaining the word to the lectern.
Ps 69 answer me 14 Rescue me, deliver me 15 Do not let 16 Answer me 17 Do not hide, answer me 18 Come near, redeem me The Psalmist makes a continuous plea to God in 6 verses. He is pulling God to himself in the first 5 verses and then in the last verse he woos God to come near69 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal". The curse enforces the state of blindness.All of the choices of Gods elect are under the rubric of blessing. We can curse the oppositions in order to make our choices right. God honors our corrupted choices through redemption. Gods cause makes our choices successful.Ps 20 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed"before we were saved our wills were in bondage to sin. The Psalmist teaches that God does not honor the choices.They have no cause. Salvation has made our choices part of Gods cause.The nt commands us to submit to rulers. The constitution gives the people the power to rule. It specifically says that the people have a right to oppose unconditional authority. When you do not amend the confession you rebel against the law.If the reformers are concerned that we show respect to the law of the land then we have an obligation to uphold the bill of rights. We are a republic of which the law gives the powers of governing to the people. If we are to obey we must oppose tyranny.The Psalms are a violent book. There are more chapters in the Psalms than any other book. There is only one verse about confronting each other and it is in the context of two people being an a ditch together and one of them giving his life for the other.
