“But You, O Lord, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations. Because of his strength I will watch for You, for God is my stronghold.” (Psalm 59:8-9)
Look at the pale of history and what do you see? You see the once supposed great nations in ruin. Those who walk in the way of the wicked come to nothing. The nations rise and fall. In their height they think no one can crush them, but they come to ruin. Do not look to the nations, but to the One who created all things and know that in Him alone is hope and glory. He alone is God.
O Lord, Your ways are so far above our ways that we cannot even imagine, yet You love each one whom You have made. Guide me, O Lord, in the way I should go that I may go that way. Help me now and always to look to You for all things and walk in Your ways. You are the stronghold of all who look to You. Guide me, O Lord, now and always and keep me close to You.
Lord Jesus, the One who has come to lead the way for those who are called according to Your purpose, keep my eye upon You and the prize You offer in grace. Let me not stray, nor wander in other places, but remain with You guiding me at all times. Let my lips speak Your goodness. May I now and always hold praise of You and the work You have done on my lips. Amen.
