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.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by[b] him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

His mouth is full of lies and threats;
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    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?

Do you think there is a way to keep yourself from being ambushed by the wickedness of the world or is it to just be accepted as part of living in the world?

In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by[b] him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” Psalm 10-4-6

How is it that in this world created by God the wicked prosper?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God. Psalm 10: 2-4

Have you ever been in a place where you thought there was no room for God? What was that like?

Worship Wednesdays 6-15-16

It is past time today to raise up a shout of praise to Jesus here on Lillie-Put. The week is getting busy  once again and I am finding it hard to carve out time for everything. But I am managing even if I am a little behind in everything.

Worship Wednesdays is one of seven weekly posts here at Lillie-Put dedicated to raising the praise of Jesus, who is the Way,the Truth and the Life!

Here are some other blogs who are doing the same thing using either music or the written word.

The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c]
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,
    all the nations that forget God.
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    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?
