To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song. God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered, and those who hate him shall flee before him! As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God! But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy!
Lord, one of my big problems is remembering that You are in charge as the turmoil appears to be on the increase. There seems to be no slacking of the bad news, even a hint of good news is tainted by uncertainty. How can I keep my eyes on You when so many assaults my eyes and ears? The answer is to let Your praises fill my mouth, and You will provide a two-edged sword in my hands for protection. Let Your praises be so loud in my mouth; my ears cannot hear the wails and laments of a dying world. Let my eyes be so filled with Your glory and blessings that I cannot see the sin and decay that are destroying the world around me.
