You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40 ESV)
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:12 ESV)
After all of the descriptions of evil that the wicked are capable of in verses 1 through 11, David reminds us about how God will never forget in verses 12 through 18. The verse that stood out to me was [He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”] Psalm 10:11. Straight afterwards David reminds this is not true but that one moment of when evil thinks it has one can also be the lowest point for the good. Constantly, I must remind myself not to think like the evil person and to know that God will hear my prayers and that He works on His own time, for He knows best. I think that this Psalm also teaches a lesson on patience even in the face of evil that appears to be winning.
