"Smooth As Butter!!"

[21] His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords. [22] Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Psalms 55:21-22 NIV

I love that verse 21 talks about how manipulative a person can be; talking one way, but hiding the true motive behind all that smooth talk in their heart.

I love that the bible, the word of God, the instruction manual Jesus left behind for us to live our lives by addresses real life issues such as manipulation.

Verse 21: His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart...That sounds like manipulation to me. Anytime a person smooth talks you into believing what "they want" you to believe, and hides what's really going on from you....YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED!!

Now, Verse 22: The verse that comes after all that might seem out of place, but trust me, when I tell you...

GOD KNOWS what He’s doing.

1st He uses the hand of David as a"the psalmist" in Psalms 55 to talk to us about manipulation - how it sounds, but it's true intent is hidden and THEN in the next verse, verse 22: God says, Now Cast Your Cares!!

SOMEBODY:

Cast your cares on the Lord.

You have been manipulated long enough by the people you trusted. God will sustain you. They thought they had you shaken, but GOD won't allow you to be shook.

Until Next Sunday.
