Psalm 58

Psalm 58
The Message (MSG) 

**********************

  This world is a messed up place.
  I could start a list of all the problems in the world, all the chaos that entangles the innocent, the wars that devour lives, the crooked and greedy that take advantage of others, the entitled who bully others, etc.  The list would be seemingly endless.  If I was being honest, I'd have to place myself on that list--for I, too, am sinful, broken, and acceptable to God only through the blood of Jesus Christ.
  We wait for the Lord to set things right.  We call upon his name and pray that he will take the evil from this place.  We beg the Lord to come down and destroy evil and those who cling to it, that we might live in the full goodness of God.
  When this happens, we will rejoice.  We will dance in the streets, cheer on the name of God!  How beautiful it will be when God finally sets things right.
  Until then, in the midst of a chaotic world, we wait with hope, and we work with God to redeem the world.

May you trust in God's timeline today
