A Plea for Help Answered

We Worship God
A Guide for Worship Leaders:
Heavenly Worship


Psalm 10:12-16 (The Message)

 12-13 Time to get up, God—get moving.
      The luckless think they're Godforsaken.
   They wonder why the wicked scorn God
      and get away with it,
   Why the wicked are so cocksure
      they'll never come up for audit.

 14 But you know all about it—
      the contempt, the abuse.
   I dare to believe that the luckless
      will get lucky someday in you.
   You won't let them down:
      orphans won't be orphans forever.

 15-16 Break the wicked right arms,
      break all the evil left arms.
   Search and destroy
      every sign of crime.
   God's grace and order wins;
      godlessness loses.

For Reflection
The psalmist pleas for help.  It came in the form of Jesus Christ.  No arms on the enemy broken in the making of this transformational event. God gave not what was expected, but what was needed.  God will do the same with you.  He will supply not always what you want, but always what you need.

Pray
that you will be open to listen to God's instruction.  Pray that you will respond to His gentle nudge.
