Week 15 and we are still visiting with these scriptures. God uses such "colorful" words in these scriptures and they remind us at to why we are so glad that we no longer live under the old covenant. They also remind us of just how radical Jesus must have seemed to the religious culture.

Psalm 68: 20-23
Remembering the “types and shadows” principle, visit these scriptures one more day in New Testament light and use as an opportunity to pray for your enemies. Also, pray for those with whom you have conflict, realizing, that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers…” Eph 4: 1
Please reference Luke 6: 35-36. “Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don’t be concerned that they might not repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.” Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance says that the Greek word for enemies in this scripture means hateful, hostile, or adversary. Recognizing that this kind of love can only be accomplished through God’s grace, record your thoughts, prayers and if you’re like me, your confessions!
