Psalm 94:3
Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
triumph?
Ginelli hated to see the boys come. They tore up his store,
threatened his customers, and called him dirty names. They'd never hurt anyone,
yet. All he wanted was for the police to come, but they never bothered. It
seemed the boys were just his cross to bear. No one would help him, so he just
had to tolerate it.
Why do the evil people
in this world get away with so much? Because it's their world. God gave this
world over to Satan long ago, and it has been downhill ever since. Our realm is
that of heaven. We are Kingdom people now, and so we have to put up with all
kinds of bad and terrible things while we wait. Luckily, we don't have to fight
alone. The Lord is with us, giving us His strength and encouragement. Take
heart, the Lord is on our side.
Prayer: Be with me,
Lord, as I stand alone in a world gone crazy. There are times when I can find
no one who seems to care, no one willing to help. In those times, reach down to
give me aid. Amen.
