God's Sovereign Justice (Part 3)


Hope in the Lord (verses 15-20)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%209:15-20&version=NIV

God’s judgment reveals His sovereignty to the whole world. Through the death of His own Son God judged humanity. Christ’s resurrection assured victory over sin and death. May we stand with Jesus, the hope of the world, beside the oppressed and marginalized in our society.

Lord God, our society has fallen into the pit they have dug. But You never forget the needy. Arise, Lord, do not let our mortal society triumph. Help us to stand beside the oppressed and marginalized in our community.

With all our hearts we give thanks to You, O Lord, because at all times You dwell with Your Christians and graciously preserve those in the true faith who confess Your name. Dwell in us, O Lord, with Your grace. Increase Your Church daily, and grant us to be and to remain, true members of the same to our final end. Amen.
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
