Evening Meditation 6-17-16
Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”? Psalm 10:12,13
Why do the wicked think that they will get away with wickedness?

Morning Direction From Scripture 6-17-16
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by[b] him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
7 His mouth is full of lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8 He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;
he covers his face and never sees.” Psalm 10:4-11
Does God see everything and if so why doesn’t He fix or stop the bad?

Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Psalm 10:1
Why do you think it sometimes feels as though God is hiding from us?

Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, Lord;
let the nations know they are only mortal. Psalm 9:19-20
How much do we as a race deny our mortality? What are some of the dangers of that?

The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c]

all the nations that forget God.

the hope of the afflicted will never perish. Psalmk 9:16-18
Is there a role we play in God not forgetting the needy? What is it?

their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. Psalm 9:15
