The wink of an eye

I have never seen a cat "wink" before; somehow it seems a little strange. Why do people wink, anyway? I like to wink at little children with one eye then the other just to play, but do we do that with adults? Sometimes we do, but more often than not it signals that we are being less than honest about something. Take this passage for example.

Psa 35:15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn't know it. They tore at me, and didn't cease.
Psa 35:16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Psa 35:17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
Psa 35:18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Psa 35:19 Don't let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
Psa 35:20 For they don't speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Psa 35:21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!"
Psa 35:22 You have seen it, Yahweh. Don't keep silent. Lord, don't be far from me.
Psa 35:23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
Psa 35:24 Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don't let them gloat over me.
If you are doing God's will for you life expect opposition. There will always be those who will oppose you know matter how nice you are to them. In times like that, ask God for help; he will answer in ways you never thought possible; I know, because it has happened to me several times. Sometimes God takes awhile and at other times HE intervenes very quickly... almost in the wink of an eye. No foolin!
