What does Psalm 10:12 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
We are all mindful that we live in a broken world. Tragically, our broken world is also filled with broken people. In times of pain and misery, when those who hurt know their vulnerability, we have no other source than God to whom we can turn. The LORD, the covenant God of Israel, who stayed faithful to His promises, saved His people, and delivered His Messiah, is also the God who remains with us. In the short run, there are moments when He seems to not be watching, listening, or aware. What do we do in those moments? Pretend we don't have our feelings and doubts? No, we sincerely cry out to our LORD who has redeemed, saved, and liberated before, and we approach Him to do the same in our day!
Prayer
God of light, be with us in these frightening and gloomy times. Give us comfort in our times of suffering and restore to us the joy of living and the hope of good things. Raise your hand and take concrete steps to bring repentance and renewal to your church, your family, and our time. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
