Psalm 94:16-17 (New Living Translation)
16 Who will protect me from the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had helped me,
I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.
The last year or so in America have seen one travesty after another. The wicked kill the innocent. The innocent turn on the wicked and become wicked themselves. The circle goes around and we wonder if it will end.
The LORD God helps. That is the hope of the believer. The non-believer has no hope. Those who turned away from God and walked a different path are hopeless. We turn from victim to oppressor to victim and on and on in a tragedy of God-less human suffering. We “wallow in the mire” as the Bible phrases it.
Suffering from than hands of an oppressor is bad. Forsaking God and living without hope is a tragedy. I alone can bring that tragedy on myself. Life without hope is self-inflicted. Please God, help me to choose to live in the hope of your light.
