Key Verse: 94:22
But the LORD has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
The LORD is the Judge of all the earth. When the Psalmist looked around, he saw that the wicked and the proud appeared to prosper at the hands of God’s people. They crushed those the LORD claimed as his inheritance. They cared nothing for the weak and acted as if the LORD was blind to their evil deeds. But God made us. He sees and hears. He is the Judge who disciplines in his right time. The plans of all who oppose him are futile.
The blessed person receives the word of God and is disciplined by it. The LORD is faithful and just; he will take a stand on behalf of his people. His unfailing love is all we need to thrive as his children. Though corruption and wickedness may threaten, the LORD is a rock and fortress for all who take shelter in him. Our righteous Judge is our salvation.
Prayer: Prayer: Lord, help me to depend on your righteous judgment in this sinful world and take refuge in your word and your unfailing love.
One Word: One Word: Take refuge in God?
