The current danger in the world only exist because of the condition of the wicked heart. Since it has broken out into the our view in the world, we see it has always been hidden below the surface.

If we are thinking about how to hurt ourselves we are hurting ourselves.

The Psalmist tells us that we cause ourselves pain and suffering by thinking about what we want to happen. 

People who are corrupt do not want them to be forced to stop, prevented from taking the next step, or protected from vulnerable places.

The world of politics is more difficult than we can imagine.

The Psalmist is making a stunning view of the world by teaching Gods clear line of blessing and cursing. This divides all men, the entire history of the world between saints and aints. But men who move this line for personal success or to protect other men, are very dangerous.

 God knows that sin and official corruption is an active disease that distorts our view of the world in a violent way.  The world we live in is complicated and sometimes scary. People who are so bent on doing bad things that they don't care about other people are not nice. 

The political world is far rougher and more precarious than we can ever imagine. People who are corrupt do not want people to be forced to stop them from doing what they want, prevent them from taking the next step, or protect them in vulnerable places.

Give a man a choice between doing something good to make up for his sins, or receiving free grace, a man by nature will always trust in his good deeds. Men like a graded law they can control.

The natural man reasons, if I sin since I am still alive, I can correct my sin. But God pronounces death. The man does not understand the rules of the game of life. God allows you to live. God had to prevent your death by His work in Himself.

Truth is when Adam sinned the entire creation was cursed to death. Its why God had to decree the sin and the curse with the remedy. The natural man actually believes he can overcome Adams sin that Adam failed to do. Go figure.

Man is infinitely blessed to even be alive. Let alone stand in Gods presence and claim he deserves free will.

A natural man could not reason that he brings God down to his control by being alive. He is what we call clueless about reality.

But the wheels of God are spinning very slowly. Instead of focusing generally on our ultimate success, God focuses relentlessly on our personal growth. He knows affectionately that there are very few men who love us because God so passionately embraces us. God alone is extremely sensitive to our necessary circumstances. He mercifully spent everything possible on blessing and curse.

37 22 " those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.". The Psalmist carefully teaches that we cause ourselves pain and suffering by thinking pragmatically. Sinners naturally desire to give the wicked a low grade rather than being cut off from the face of the exposed earth. The term to cut generally means to disappear from society. God fondly knows that sin and official corruption is an active disease that intentionally distorts our overall violent world view. The political world is considerably harsher and more precarious than we could ever imagine. Corrupt people do not want them to be forcibly prevented from achieving their personal goals, prevented from taking the next step, and protected in vulnerable places. But the wheels of God are turning very slowly. Instead of generally focusing on our ultimate success, God relentlessly focuses on our personal growth. He affectionately knows that there are very few men who love as God eagerly embraces us. God alone is infinitely sensitive to our necessary condition. He decreed all possible things graciously according to blessing and cursing.
