A Righteous Strike

November 25, 2010

Psalm 141:5

Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head.
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

I’m not sure if you would agree, but everything about this passage of scripture is contrary to my normal train of thought. To be completely honest – I don’t really want anyone striking me…no matter how righteous they may be.

And yet as I sit and reflect I realize…that I am so grateful for the righteous men and women in my life who have my permission, and their own strength to confront me when I need it…to rebuke me when I am out of line.

I am the kind of person who absolutely needs to have people around me who can set me straight because sometimes…I can make some pretty dumb decisions.

It never feels good to have someone call us out, it is a shot to our pride, a forceful interruption in the path that we really feel that we should be taking…

And yet it is so true that when I look back on my life I can see that more often than not…it has been those righteous people in my world who have had the courage to “strike me”....who have saved me from some serious pain.

Jesus thanks for blessing me with people who have the strength and the courage to set me straight, to speak words of truth, and who, when I push back…can push back harder. I need them, please bless them, and continue to use them to guide me to Your truth.

B.
