Praise For Ultimate Justice

O LORD, what great works you do!

And how deep are your thoughts.

Only a simpleton would not know,

and only a fool would not understand this:

Though the wicked sprout like weeds

and evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever.

Psalm 92:5-8

Eternity provides us with excellent perspective for the present. When we consider God’s unlimited power and glory, the problems of this earthly life are cut down to size. “Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish,” we know that in the end God will bring about justice, though we may never see it ourselves. No power on earth, no matter how formidable it may seem, can last forever in its rebellion against the Lord of all creation.

What injustices cause you frustration in life? Reflect for a moment on the fact that God is eternal and just. Give praise to him for ensuring that his people will one day be rewarded and the wicked will be punished.

• Almighty Lord, I praise you for your eternal justice . . .
