Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals. Psalm 63:9-10
My ears and eyes are pummeled with bad news and evil words. In fact, if I want something good I must go and seek it, because the world doesn’t have any to offer……I know this is the extreme, but there are days when everything seems helpless and hopeless. I wonder why God tarries.
Psalm 63 was written when David should have won the day, but didn’t. He submitted to God’s authority and remained committed to God’s higher plan. (I Samuel 24) Confidence in God’s justice gave him peace and peace gave him rest. He also knew that God did not delight in the pain someone else’s sin caused. GOD DOES NOT LIKE THE CONSEQUENCE OF SIN!!! HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON TO WIN VICTORY OVER SIN!!!! There will come a day of judgement for those who have hurt others and it will not be pretty.
My father once reminded me of notes he took from a sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Samuel Young (General Superintendent, Church of the Nazarene) He wrote, “You can’t do the Lord’s work the Devil’s way.” (Romans 12:17-21)
Be patient. God is good, therefore, life is good and God will take care of evil. Wait in peace, the Lord is working on a miracle for you!
