Daily Devotional: June 19 – Righting Wrongs

Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” – Psalm 105:15

There are some church leaders who take the above bible verse out of context. There are those who use it to quiet those who try to point out wrongs that should be righted. But when we look at the entire chapter, we see that the anointed ones and prophets refer to the family of Abraham in the wilderness. In the context of the new covenant, we are sons and daughters of Abraham in that we have been grafted into a family of faith (whose father is Abraham) through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And because of Christ, we have been anointed (with the Holy Spirit) and can hear directly from God just as the old prophets did. In essence, this verse does not refer only to church leaders but to every Christian. Therefore, we need not stay mute about things that are obviously wrong under the paralysis of the misplaced teaching of this passage of scripture. We should not tolerate what is wrong but point it out in the spirit of love and with the right heart intention so that things can improve and be put right.

I am doing nothing wrong when trying to right a wrong and protect other people
