Psalms 7:15-16 -- On Pits and Pates

"He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate."
Psalms 7:15-16


This is talking about things that happen to the wicked, but I think it is something we can all relate to, because we all are wicked on some level, and in need of repentance for exactly this reason... because at the end of all of this, our reward or curse is the same... restitution of whatever we give out. We are rewarded exactly as we rewarded others, and the sole thing standing in between ourselves and the evil that we have handed out in our lives is Christ, and his mercy, allowing us the space to change and to repent and to have time to put some better things out there. :)

Today, let's take advantage of Christ's love and his sacrifice on our behalf. Let's make changes and work for a better self and a better world, honoring that sacrifice and becoming better than we have been. Let's make sure that whatever is coming down on our heads in the future is something that we welcome.
