Good Morning Friends,
“In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: ‘Flee like a bird to your mountain. For look, the wicked bend their bows; they
set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright
in heart. When the foundations are being
destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine
them. The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and
burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice;
upright men will see his face.” (Psalm 11:1-7)
David wrote this psalm. I think he was saying “it’s not over
yet.” Life doesn’t seem fair. The wicked often prosper and the righteous often
suffer. It seems as though it will
always be this way and no one does anything to make it all turn out right.
But it’s not over yet! The Lord is in the temple. God is still on the throne. He’s watching. He’s waiting.
It’s not over yet! In the end
justice will prevail, along with grace and mercy.
Those who love God will not always
suffer. One day we will see God’s face
and eternally enjoy His presence and live in perfect justice and love.
And for those who oppress us, unless they
repent, judgment waits. Their wicked
deeds will be punished. Justice will
prevail.
I know life on earth doesn’t always seem
fair. The good are mistreated and suffer
great distress. The bad seem to prosper without
difficulty. Life isn’t fair.
Trust God.
It’s not over yet!
His, by Grace,
Steve
