Psalm 18:42
42 Then did I beat [shachaq] them small as the dust [`aphar] before [paniym] the wind: [ruwach] I did cast them out [ruwq]
as the dirt [tiyt] in the streets. [chuwts] KJV-Interlinear
42 Then
I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of
the streets. NASB
David is speaking, but
then the Lord if also speaking through David.
This verse continues the
language of contempt, as prescribed by complete and fair and honorable justice
against evil.
God is perfect
righteousness. God is perfect
justice. God has nothing to do with
anything evil. God can have nothing to
do with anything evil. God is not able
to sin. God is able to not sin.
And in the end of it all,
all of human history, then evil will be crushed and disposed of with little
fanfare, with little ceremony.
And so, what and who is
evil?
Evil is anyone who
disregards Gods truth and purpose and plan and policy and procedures and
anything that is legitimately spiritual.
And unfortunately that
includes nearly everyone at some point in time.
But of those who pursue Gods plan for their individual lives, then this
end will not apply to them.
Of what value is the dust
floating in the wind? None. Of what value is the dirt in the streets? None.
And that is what you have
to look forward to, if you ignore God and His word.
The spiritual life is not
what you say, or do, but it is what you think.
And what you think must come from your daily study of Bible doctrine,
while you are in fellowship. That is
how, and the only way, you learn His will.
Then your proper thinking
will dictate what you say and do, not the other way around.
But when the thinking is
empty of truth, then dust is how you started, and dust is how you end. And that is the proverbial waste of a life.
