Contemplative Bible Reading

Psalm 1:4-5 (New Living Translation)

4 But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.

The wicked will be condemned. Their time is coming. Their punishment is coming.

And I know just the time that they should be punished!

Now if God would just consult with me about the right time for this to happen. I would instruct Him about this. Where is He? What time zone does He live in? He must be in another time zone because He isn’t punishing those who need punishing fast enough for me.

Woe is me. I have trouble sometimes accepting the authority of God.
