How should we respond to the injustices around us, with righteous
people suffering and evil people prospering? Why does a God of love allow His people
to suffer and unrighteous people to prosper?
Missing the Boat (verses 1-6)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2073:1-6&version=NIV
When we feel that we are missing the boat we need to acknowledge
God’s goodness. When we question God’s justice, we find ourselves filled with
resentment and envy. May God’s truth lead us not to judge only by what we see. Evil people brag and bully as they
ride roughshod over others. God seems to let them get away with their
wickedness. May we recognize God’s gift of Himself as an incomparable blessing
and encourage others to join us in praying through our negative emotions and
hope in God’s goodness.
Loving God, we feel that we have missed the boat. Surely You are good to
those who are pure in heart. Help us to keep our eyes focused on You and not on
the people around us. Sustain us and keep us close to Yourself. Keep Your Body
from envy, pride and violence.
