Good Morning Friends,
“Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the
people of the world revere him. For he
spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he
thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But
the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all
generations. Blessed is the nation whose
God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:8-12)
The nations do as they please without being
stopped or punished. Or so it
seems. The world contains some very
wicked rulers who rule with selfishness.
Why doesn’t someone do something?
Someone is doing something! The Lord is moving to fulfill His plan. It may not seem like it to us, but the plan
of the Lord will not be thwarted by the moves of wicked men. As a demonstration of His amazing wisdom and
power, He will accomplish His purposes, even using the wicked free will of
mankind. In eternity we will be able to
look back and see the wisdom of the Lord and His plan as it unfolded from His
perspective.
But we can’t see that here, so the questions
continue. What should we do? The psalmist says, “Wait in hope for the
Lord; he is our help and our shield. In
him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.” (Psalm 33:20-22)
Wait patiently. Hope fervently. Trust completely!
His plan and purposes will not be
thwarted. Someday we’ll see that
clearly.
His, by Grace,
Steve
