Day 184: Psalms 53:5-6
Psalm 53:5 There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.
With time they do become afraid of what they have set for themselves. They come upon their own traps that they have set for others, and they get caught in them. They become aware of the terrible judgment of God for all who turn against Him and mock His name. God will bring sudden and final destruction on His and our enemies. God will show them the evil of their ways and the shame of their behavior. God has set His face against our enemies. God will deal with their wickedness.
Psalm 53:6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
We long for the day when the full and final deliverance will come. We look forward to the end of wickedness. Lord Jesus, we look forward to Your final coming. I Thessalonians 4:16-17 remind us, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
We can rejoice in faith already. We know that day is coming when the dead in Christ will rise first. We know that we will rejoice forevermore. We rejoice together with all those who call on the name of the Lord in Spirit and in truth. Through Jesus Christ alone. Amen!
