A Fighting Chance

These days it seems like the world is determined to become a crazier place every day. There are cowards grabbing the lime light by capturing innocent civilians and then attacking and beheading them while they are tied up. There are wars in many places on the globe. And in the cities in America crime continues to rise. As I look at this I try to make sense of it and can only come to one conclusion. Man needs God more than ever. God is our defense against such insanity, as He has always been.

Psalms 101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

Our God will rise up to cut off the wickedness.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High. Let Your kingdom reign Lord. Let Your will be performed in the earth. Send us today Your abundant provision. Deliver us from the ever present evil of cowardly men who do physical and financial violence in the earth. Forgive us when we get things wrong. Send us Your healing and deliverance that all men might know that You alone are the One True God. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
