Good morning, 2404;
David prayed that God would bring shame on his enemies.
When I was 16 years old in high school, I was riding on the yellow school bus and sitting in the back with all the cool kids. I saw 4 students, (2 guys and 2 girls) that I had known since grade school / junior high sharing the same seat near the front. I went up to them and knowing they were Christians asked them about being "Jesus freaks" and attending youth group each week.
I was being a wise guy with a tone of arrogance in my voice. They didn't answer me right away but I'll always remember the pure look in their eyes. They looked at me with happy, upbeat looks on their faces, almost like 4 angelic beings.
I don't remember what their answer was, but I walked back to my seat with my tail behind me. I felt ashamed, I couldn't focus on my cool friends and it stayed in my head all the way home on that bus ride keeping it to myself.
I myself was a Christian at a young age, attended youth group each week and played with the praise team on Sundays.
I just wasn't so visible about it and for some reason I was trying to maintain my image of a long haired, guitar player and again, hanging out with the cool kids.
When we are in a daily relationship with God He already brings shame on those who transgress on His followers. I will always remember that day 51 years later.
God bless you, brother, and thank you for sharing Psalm 25:3.
