Psalms 94:16-17 -- On God, Evildoers, and Silence

"Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence."
Psalms 94:16-17


We probably all feel like this sometimes--like no one is on our side, we don't have any help, and we can't do it all ourselves.  Our souls are calling out for comfort, but who is going to hear that silent plea?

In John 14:18, God tells us that he will not leave us comfortless.  He is the one that stands up for us, that hears us in the silence, that ensures that we have a voice, and someone to help us.  We never have to be alone or without help, because he will always come to us if we are willing to let him in.

God will also make things right and rise up against the evildoers and stand up against the workers of iniquity.  He will, in his own time, solve every single problem.  Let's make sure that we stick with him through the process, because often the delay is so that he can help us, who are sometimes evildoers and workers of iniquity, to learn to change before that day comes.

Today, let's remember that our souls never have to dwell in silence, because God is always there to communicate with, and let's work on improving our lives and not being part of the problem.
