I love reading the Psalms in this format because once a week I get to peek what's on David's Heart. Today in two of the Psalms we read how David wants redemption for his nation and for himself.
My favorite stories are redemption stories. I fear that we want nice and easy stories without a lot of confusion. One's with definite heroes and definite villians with as little sex, cussing, and violence as possible. And while I think we can write scripts that are devoid of bad elements (or at least present them in a way that doesn't make a child loose his/her innocence), we miss plot lines because we refuse to describe our heroes as faulty.
I love movies like "Catch Me if You Can" because someone finds a hero in a villian's life. It is a real tale of redemption, and gives the hope that someone can turn their life around. Which we all can in Christ, that's why He died for us.
