This morning's psalm in my prayer book:
Why do you boast of your wickedness,
you champion of evil?
You love evil more than good;
lies more than truth.
For this God will destroy you
and remove you forever.
He will snatch you from your tent and uproot you
from the land of the living.
The just shall see and fear.
They shall laugh and say:
So this is the man who refused
to take God as his stronghold,
but trusted in the greatness of his wealth
and grew powerful by his crimes?
- Psalm 52: 3-7
Thank you. You have searched for and found balance in the awful news. And shared it too x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mags. It immediately reminded me of that monster.
DeleteWhile we may not see it sometimes, the Lord is in control.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree with you ENTIRELY. But that doesn't mean it won't be bad for us - history is filled with people of God living through very difficult times. Not to mention the life of Jesus being a hard one. To say that God is in control does not mean that He wanted things to be this way.
