Psalm 94:8-15

The Message

^8-11 Well, think again, you idiots,
    fools—how long before you get smart?
Do you think Ear-Maker doesn’t hear,
    Eye-Shaper doesn’t see?
Do you think the trainer of nations doesn’t correct,
    the teacher of Adam doesn’t know?
God knows, all right—
    knows your stupidity,
    sees your shallowness.

^12-15 How blessed the man you train, God,
    the woman you instruct in your Word,
Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil,
    while a jail is being built for the wicked.
God will never walk away from his people,
    never desert his precious people.
Rest assured that justice is on its way
    and every good heart put right.

 
For Reflection

Just as a child who covers his eyes with his hands thinking that he cannot be seen, many of us deny God when the evidence surrounds us. There are prophets who we are unwilling to hear.  There are witnesses we refuse to believe.  There are spirits we are unwilling to touch.  There is the blood of Christ we unwilling to taste; signs and fingerprints to which we are blind. Blessed are those who quietly work for compassion and justice.

 

Pray

for those who are willing to be heard.  Pray for those who are willing to be touched.  Pray for those whose spirit is undeniable.  Pray for those who hear but do not listen, who see but do not comprehend, and who experience but are afraid to accept.
