I am the Enemy

This morning I was reading Psalm 3, Isaiah 2 and Lamentations 2, and something hit me. "I am the enemy." All of my life I have been reading those passages, and others as if I am the one being saved. Now, I am not saying that God is not saving me, but I am asking questions about perspective, perceptions and "the Other".

I wonder, "Do people pray for God to save them from me (me--personally, figuratively, the United States, etc.)? In what instances am I the enemy/the villain? How often in relationship have I hurt someone and they have in turn prayed for deliverance because of my actions?"

This is why I need saving. I need saving because for the past 22 years I have struggled to see where "I am the enemy."

Now my actions and choices are challenged, and I can see where I have pillaged much and many...I further understand why I need to be saved.
