The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. Psalms 10:16-18 [ESV]
4 Realities:
- The Lord is King forever and ever
- The Lord hears the desire of the afflicted
- He strengthens hearts
- He inclines His ear to do justice
2 Outcomes:
- Nations perish from His land
- With His justice earthly men will no longer strike terror
I love that there are 4 truths about God’s actions and 2 simple outcomes -> His land is sovereign and earthly men have no power over him…they are neutralized by His justice. That is OUR God! David’s God is our God. I need to remind myself of this just as often as I need to preach the Gospel to myself every day.
