Pslam 58
Devotional:
Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” (Psalm 58:11)
Watch the news on any given day and you will see stories of death, war, and destruction. To make matters worse, it seems like a lot of evil people are doing pretty well while good people seem to suffer. Apparently, the world hasn’t changed much since the time of David. He doesn’t mince words with the way he feels about evil in the world. While we often reflect on the mercy of God, it is important to remember that God is also just. He will not let evil go unpunished, and while His wrath for sin was poured out on the cross, there will be a day when He judges the earth. Let yourself be humbled by the knowledge of a God who is as merciful as He is just.

Pray it:
Father, my heart breaks at the injustices and suffering I see in this world. I praise you for your promise to bring justice to the world while also giving mercy to sinners through the cross. Help me to live in a way committed to both justice and mercy. Amen.
