Psalm
74:20
Have
respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the
habitations of cruelty.
A
new government had seemed the best solution. The overthrow had taken place a
new government was installed, and then something had gone wrong. The new
president sat enthroned in a palatial estate, where no one could get in to see
him. The proposals of the new majority went unheeded. The oppressors had not
been eradicated, they had merely changed faces and places. The people were
betrayed, and the cruelty continued.
Broken
promises. They litter the land of most countries. Trust is offered, then it is
trampled on. A man or woman's word is only as good as the individual chooses to
make it. Thank God that He is constant and true. His covenants are eternal. God
never turns from His people, and they never need to fear that they will be
forgotten. Let us work in our lives to copy God's commitment to covenant in the
promises that we make.
Prayer:
Make my word was good as the finest gold, dear Lord. Help me to accept the fact
that I am lied to each day, and to forgive those who offer up the lies. Amen.
