I cried out, “I am slipping!” but
your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my
mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. Can unjust leaders
claim that God is on their side-- leaders whose decrees permit
injustice? They gang up against the righteous and condemn the
innocent to death. But the Lord is my fortress; my God is the mighty
rock where I hide. God will turn the sins of evil people back on
them. He will destroy them for their sins. The Lord our God will
destroy them. Psalm 94: 18-23 NLT
Who do you depend on?
The psalmist depends on God.
When the psalmist feels like they are
falling, God's love supports them. When they doubt their future, God
gives them supernatural joy. Even when politicians and government
leaders claim that they act on God's behalf or with God's blessing
while taking advantage of the poor and helpless, the psalmist puts
their trust in God. It is God who keeps the psalmist hidden. It is
God who will destroy those who are evil.
Who do you depend on?
God, help me to depend on you at all
times. When I feel myself slipping out of your path, may my cries be
heard by you. When I am doubtful about my future or the future of my
people, may you give me joy and hope that are unexplainable. When I
am persecuted by those who should be my protectors, may I be saved by
your mighty power. In Jesus' name. Amen.
