Psalm 94:14-16 “For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor
will He forsake His inheritance. For judgment will
again be righteous, And all the upright in heart
will follow it. Who will stand up for me against
evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against
those who do wickedness?” (NASB)
Hello,
The faithfulness of God is an amazing thing. Despite our
shortcomings and failures, He is right there fulfilling His promises. What is
our response to be? The obvious answer is the right one – to follow and obey
God with as much faithfulness as we can.
Easy? Nope. Going to get harder? Yup.
As I was reading the end of this section I started focusing
on the psalmist working to rally support and to stand up against wickedness
with other people…then it struck me. He wasn’t looking to get others together
and then stand up against wickedness with him. He realized that he wasn’t
capable of that. His role was to trust and obey God – and it was God who will
stand up against the evildoers, God who will bring judgment to those who have
oppressed His followers…our job is just to follow. The chapter concludes as
such:
Psalm 94:22-23 “But the Lord has been my stronghold, And my God
the rock of my refuge. He has brought back their
wickedness upon them And will destroy them in
their evil; The Lord our God
will destroy them”(NASB)
Keep following God in response to His faithfulness – He wins
in the end!
Have a blessed day,
