“Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along, like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun. Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.” (Psalm 58:8-9)
Those who are called to righteousness are perplexed at the presence of the truly wicked. Yes, we call out for vengeance, if only on the inside. But all things are in the Lord’s hands and we should never stop short at our inability to see why things are the way they are. Instead, learn to simply trust the Lord in all things and for all things. Be guided by His Spirit to learn to praise Him.
Lord I am impatient and want restitution when harmed. Help me understand that You alone are God and my ability or inability to understand means nothing. Guide me in Your ways that I may learn from You who knows all things how to live and how to respond to all of life’s circumstances. Vengeance will come, but You are forever. Lead me into forever Lord.
Lord Jesus You have come to lead the way for as many as would turn to You and follow where You lead. Guide me in the way I need to go to learn through all circumstances to love You unconditionally. Help me despite my feelings and desires to seek that which is beneficial now and forever, knowing that You are conforming me to Your image. Lead me this day, my Savior. Amen.
