Being drug down

Curious words from David recorded in Psalm 28, "Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil." They are curious because he presumes that God is doing the dragging. This challenges my idea of the God I know. Would the God I worship, the God I love, the God I follow, shown in the strong, simple face of Jesus, willingly drag our unwilling lives into place that are contrary to the Divine Will? Maybe this is what Jesus means when he instructs us to pray, "lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil." Maybe the God I love, worship, and serve is bigger than my comprehension of Him. His ways are not my ways. Clearly, I would never drag my son into situations that seperate him from me and his mother. That is, unless it is for his own good. We've heard the stories, maybe they've happened to us, where a parent lets their juvenile child sit in the "gray bar hotel" for the night to feel the consequences of poor choices in friends and activities. I've talked to parents who have done it, and they let their child suffer not with joy, but with a lot of pain. It's not what they wanted for their child, but it was what was best for him in that moment. Maybe that's it...David's not talking about being dragged away with the wicked forever. I agree with David. I don't want to face the consequences of the poor choices I make daily and weekly either. I'm glad God's forgiveness and love is much bigger than the sin I commit. In Christ I am free from fear, free from worry, and freed by forgiveness to live boldly.
