A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 10

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 10
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble? The Lord is King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land. Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more (Psalm 10:1, 16-18).

This psalm is a reminder that it is easy for the natural mind to get things wrong about who God is, what He knows, and what He will do.

God isn’t far away, He has not gone into hiding, He is not clueless, and He is not indifferent. God sees and knows all things. He knows what everyone has done and why they did it.

When we experience injustice from others, God’s invitation to us is not to go after them to get even, but to come to Him and place the matter in His hands. God is the righteous judge and brings perfect justice. He will always get it right.
 
Come To Me
When you are hurting,
come to Me and I will bind your wounds.
When you need to be assured,
come to Me and I will give you My embrace.
When you can no longer go on,
come to Me and I will carry you.
When you need comfort,
come to Me and I will wipe your tears.
When you are uncertain of My love,
come to Me and I will speak My heart to you.
Always remember that in your need
you are coming to Jesus, the One who came for you.
 
Insight: We can all be relieved that God has not called us to be the judge of all the earth. He will do that, and He does all things well.
