“I have no good apart from you” while those “who choose
another god multiply their sorrows.” I’m afraid we often turn “I have no good
apart from you” into “another god.” By that I mean we build walls around the
boundary lines of the “pleasant places” so that we become the landlords of the
Lord’s lot and deny others the grace we freely accept for ourselves. That doesn't mean there are not drink offerings that should not be drunk or names of false
gods that are better not uttered. But if we listen to the instruction of the
Lord and obey the counsel of the Christ our delight and fullness of joy
will lead us to care for those who have chosen to go down to the pit in such a
way that they might choose to step out of the Sheol of their own design and onto to the path of life that is the light and love of the Lord.
