The Lord Removes the Wicked

Scripture Psalms 129:4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

Observation: I try to get even with those I feel wrong me. I do what I think should be done to those who hurt people I love, but that is not what God calls me to do. He wants me to honor Him with my life and that He’ll remove the wicked in His timing and not mine. I’m called to love others and He is the righteous judge, not me.

Application: To honor God by obeying His command to love others. Not to be focused on the wicked, but focus on my Lord and His word. That I will not retaliate but stand firm in God’s love and to get through the trials in a way that will glorify God.

Prayer: My Lord I’m a sinner and my thoughts always go to anger instead of love. I need the filling of the Holy Spirit to live a life that will glorify you. Give me peace and wisdom to do what is of You.
