There is a God in Heaven. He is holy and righteous. His justice is perfect and it always is exercised, although it may be slow coming according to our standard of time.

It is not your responsibility to judge the wicked or to pay them back. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in Him. Let your thoughts be full of peace and joy. Learn to live in the "now."

No power of man can change the future. God holds the world in His hands. The nations are viewed as a drop in the bucket.

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness therefore, the world and those who dwell therein. God gives riches and power to whomever He chooses. Except the Lord build the city they labor in vain who attempt to construct it. Unless the Lord watches over a country the watchman might as well go back to sleep.

God watches over Israel, over His elect. He wants them to live in righteousness, peace, and joy. He desires that they sing and dance in the heights of Zion and walk on the high places of Jacob.

God intends that you find delight in Him. Maybe your world has just fallen apart. Maybe there is some wicked individual you can accurately blame for your personal disaster.

Just know this. If you will go to God until He removes the turmoil from you, you will find His love and peace in the very worst of situations.

But if you lift your hand to punish evildoers (apart from the Lord's specific and peaceful guidance) you will accomplish nothing except to destroy your own peace and joy.

Leave the wicked with God. He will take care of them in His time.

Trusting in the Lord is different from faith. When the Lord gives us faith we have the victory. When we do not have conquering faith we hang on by trust.

We trust in the Lord when everything is going the way we think it should and we trust in the Lord when we can't figure out what is happening.

We know God is good. We know He is seeking our good. We know He understands our problems and concerns. We are certain He knows very well every detail of every day.

Do you care much for yourself? Tell me, how many hairs are there on your head? What? You don't know? Well God knows. So who cares the most for you?

God can be trusted to keep His Word. His promises are a mountain of granite that cannot be budged. His Word is a lighthouse that guides the storm-tossed, fogbound vessel away from the rocks.

We live in a crazy world. The things we have trusted in for years are changing. There are people in power over us we do not trust at all. Our values are being trampled underfoot.

One thing does not change. The Bible. It has stood for thousands of years. After man gets through playing God the Bible will remain unchangeable. When personal computers, satellites, and cloning are archaic concepts the Bible will be new, fresh, radical.

You want to be part of something eternal? Get hooked up with God. Give your life real significance.
