A Righteous Judge


My shield is God Most High,
who saves the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge,
a God who displays his wrath every day.
If he does not relent,
he will sharpen his sword;
he will bend and string his bow.
He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows. Psalm 7:10-13

What we see on a daily basis is absolutely nothing compared to what God sees and allows to happen. As David wrote, God is a righteous judge and will one day right the wrongs. I know that sounds glib and cliche but nothing is outside of God’s view. Nothing.

People from around the world read this devotional and many have been seriously wronged, abused, and violated. There is true evil in the world.

For those reading this who have suffered greatly at the hands of evil, vile people, know this: God sees and knows what has happened. He will right the wrong. Somehow, in some way. Why He allowed it to happen, I really have no idea.

Lord Jesus, I reach out to the Brother and Sister who needs this message the most. You know specifically who they are and their specific needs. You know the pain they must be in now. You know the despair they’re feeling and their hopelessness. Would you overwhelm them with your spirit? Would you reach down and be the Comfort they need. Ease the pain they’re suffering.

Then would you mete out justice to those who inflicted this pain and suffering? Reveal your wrath against these evil people.

And finally, Lord, would you remind us often about our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted for the Name. Let their pain be our pain.

In Jesus’ name.
