God Loves a Good Visual: Crushing skulls and bathing in blood

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, God does have a way with words when it comes to really making sure his human wards know what to expect if they cross their loving father. Now, it may be interesting to note that God has enemies. The fact that an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God could have enemies is a true testament to his ability to shut of parts of his awareness so that even he can believe it. Nevertheless, music is God’s first love, and so I’d like to share a lovely extract from a Psalm with you all: “But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways. The Lord says, “I will bring my enemies down from Bashan; I will bring them up from the depths of the sea. You, my people, will wash your feet in their blood, and even your dogs will get their share!” (Psalms 68:21-23 NLT). Well, at least he does think of the dogs too, which should give him quite a few reputation points in the eyes of modern-day animal-rights activists. Funnily enough, the scene is beautifully tempered a few lines later with “25 Singers are in front, musicians behind; between them are young women playing tambourines.” (Psalms 68:25 NLT). Crushed skulls, feasting dogs, bloody pedicures, and women playing tambourines…thanks God…Not even Tim Burton could’ve done better.
