5:36 AM
Psalm 09
Lord, this Psalm spoke to me today in several ways, but the very last phrase of the Psalm is the one that stands out this morning. "…let the nations know they are only men."
After reminding us that You are God and that You are seated on the throne of Heaven ruling and judging the affairs of the world, the prayer is that we would remember who we are -- only men.
Father, this world has always been a harsh and evil place. But right now it seems to be setting up for something big, something climatic. Israel and the middle east are, of course, center stage. Great nations in Europe are but shadows of what they used to be. The United States is about to experience an upheaval of some kind.
Lord, we are but men and we destroy, wound and cripple things and people with our godless rule. I only pray the blessed Gospel will spread and flourish in the midst of the adversity. Help those of us that claim Your Name to live the roll and act like children of the living God and risen Savior.
