Today Josh is teaching from Psalm 36. It seems that this psalm is telling us that evil people will be punished and those who follow God are blessed, however Josh asks us to look deep into this psalm.

Jesus told people that many who claim to follow him will be rejected because they are following a God of their own making and not truly following him.

This is the crux of this psalm - if we are only following God for the things he brings to us and not truly following him with our heart and soul, then we are one of the people Jesus says "I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers" (Matt 7:23).

However, if we are doing our best to make God the centre of our life then we can only marvel at the blessings of God in this psalm where his faithful love reaches to heaven (v5) and his righteousness is like the highest mountain (v6)
