Psalm 11:5-7 "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright."
"(God's) stillness is not acquiescence, His silence is not consent. He is only biding His time, and will arise, in the most opportune moment, and when the designs of the wicked seem on the point of success, to overwhelm them with disaster." ~Streams in the Desert
Psalm 7:11b "…and God is angry with the wicked every day."
I know.
We see so much wickedness every day, don't we?
We wonder if God is even aware…does He see what is happening to this world of ours?
Let me remind you, my friend: God is still on the throne!
He has not forgotten and He will not remain silent forever.
There is coming a day when His rod of vengeance will strike out at the wicked. He will destroy those who do not follow His ways.
Do not lose hope because of the present wickedness that surrounds you.
Your Rescuer is on His way!
Psalm 18:16 "He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me."
