Applying Psalm 10: Analyze Harmful People

Continuing with some "homework" on Psalm 10, David Powlison asks the reader to temporarily take their eyes off of the oppressor or problem and instead look inward. When we are sinned against, it is common to react with pride, vengeance, and other fleshly responses. Being sinned against does not give us the permission to sin. We have to be careful to guard our hearts:
How have you sinned? Have you criticized, lusted, stolen, threatened, or been prejudiced? Do you lose sight of God and sink into unbelief? How do your sins come out in reaction to being sinned against? Remember, God has transformative purposes in the sufferings of those who love him.
