Psalm 52 - Confident in God's Love

Confidence to stand strong

Slap, Push pull, finger touch

Goal is to withstand the constant pushing or pulling on your life

Evil - Boast

Name your favorite villain?

What sets them apart

Have you ever known a villain to not brag or boast about the evil they spread?

Two Parts

What evil does

What righteous enjoy

Evil: deceitful, lying, destruction, and devouring

Righteous

Respond: See and fear of God’s judgement (52:5)

Reside in God’s presence

Like an green olive tree

Cultivated

Healthy

Resistant to harsh climates

It’s fruit touches almost every aspect of life (lamps, medicine, oil, sacrifices, furniture, food)

Holds the promise of peach, hope, and bounty

What do we do in God’s presence

Cultivated

Trust in the lord

Thank the Lord for what he has done

Wait on his name

Good

We know that you are good
