—Psalm 10:1-6
by: Angie Osborn.
Have you ever felt like the psalmist does? Have you ever felt that the Lord is “standing far off”? I know I have. Many times I feel as though I am alone and wonder where in the world God has run off to.
The truth is, he is right where he always is, with me. He is still God, whether I am having a good day or a bad day. He is still the king of the universe, whether wars wage or peace reigns. He is on his throne and holds all the power.
I encourage you to read all of Psalm 10. The psalmist begins with his lament against the wicked and their deeds, yet he ends with a peaceful heart. The psalmist is able to look beyond the here and now to see that God is the forever king. He does hear our cries. He is a just God and he reigns forever!
