The Righteous WILL Give Thanks...

 I said to the LORD: "You are my God;

Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,

You have covered my head in the day of battle.

8 Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;

Do not further his wicked scheme,

Lest they be exalted.

Selah

I know that the LORD will maintain

The cause of the afflicted,

And justice for the poor.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;

The upright shall dwell in Your presence.—Psalm 140:6-8;12-13

Amen!  Such a perfect prayer for the times we are facing today as a nation!  Do not grant the desires of the wicked, Father!  Do not allow their evil scheme to prosper. Overthrow and confound them.  Let them be cast into the fire...into deep pits that they rise not up again!  

Here is the thing...

While I do pray that evil would be revealed and not allowed to prosper, I am nevertheless comforted that my God WILL maintain the cause of the afflicted.  Justice WILL come.  The righteous WILL give thanks to God. No matter what happens here on earth, we who believe, WILL dwell in His presence both now and forever. THAT is good news. Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ!

But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,  8 and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. 

9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 

10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.  (Psalms 9:7-10, ESV)

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Selah

God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

power belongs to God.

12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;

For You render to each one according to his work.—Psalms 62:8; 11-12
