There is enough junk going on in the world. The world is ever in flux. Changes are taking place that we would prefer would not change. There is confusion all around us but we serve the Lord Almighty Who never changes. Therefore, let us put something meaningful into this crazy world and praise Him as David did; with our “whole heart.”

Who is it that can even begin to know and speak of all that God does and has done? His mighty acts are so numerous and so mighty that a mere mortal such as I cannot possibly comprehend them. Who can declare His praise for all that He is? Yet, we can praise Him for what we do know and what we have received from Him and when we do, we will be blessed.

Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s?” Now that’s encouraging, don’t you think?

Prayer and Bible reading was removed from the public schools and we were silent; abortion was deemed legal and we were silent; when believers were labeled the “radical right,” we closed our ranks and cocooned ourselves in our homes and churches. A few spoke up but they were shouted down by those who were the tools of the prince of darkness. However, before we throw up our hands in despair, the story of mankind isn’t over yet because, as our text says, “the righteous shall see their fall.”

If you have come to the place where you wonder where God is; never doubt it, God is right there with you. You may have had to walk by faith, not sensing or seeing the hand of God in your condition, but He is with you right now. He promised to never leave you nor forsake you and His Word is forever true and settled in heaven.

What kind of people come to your mind when you think of evil? We know that Satan is evil, but what about others? Does Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin come to mind? Some have been described as “pure evil.” That is an oxymoron because there is nothing pure about evil.
