Three daily verses populate my email inbox each morning. Often those verses reflect something I am thinking about, sometimes even confirming a devotion I sent out recently, or plan to send out in the next few days. (I usually have a few days’ ready to post.)
My practice is to read not just those verses each day but the verses in context in my Bible. One recent verse was part of Psalm 94.
“I cried out, ‘I am slipping!’ but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.” [Psalm 94:18-19 NLT]
Psalm 94 is a plea to God for help in a world plagued by wickedness and injustice. The Psalmist calls out to God as the highest judge to intervene. It is also a song that expresses trust in God to ultimately set things right and offers both comfort and peace of heart to those who trust Him.
It is a difficult thing to see wickedness flourish, but we have the promise that wickedness and injustice will not prevail. Our God is the highest authority and one day wrongs will be made right. One day those who reject his authority will receive what they have chosen.
One day righteousness will prevail for all eternity. Even so, come LORD Jesus. Amen
