Lord, these people have been around from the beginning. The psalmist grew tired of their mocking and ridiculing those who believe in You. In Your mercy, You have always allowed them time to repent and come to You. Some have, others couldn’t be bothered. The psalmist wrote, “I am overwhelmed with indignation, for my [Your] enemies have disregarded Your Words,” (Psalm 119:139). Little has changed since those words were penned. He wrote how these “intellectual elites” looked down on those who trusted in You. Today, they still consider Christ-followers as gullible, insignificant, and despised, (119:141). But what kept the psalmist joyous and on-track is the same that keeps Your followers on-track today: we know Your Word, we know who You are, and we know who we are as Your kids. You are the Lord God Almighty, our Creator, our loving and kind heavenly Father, who sent Jesus to take our sin away. Throughout Your Word, You remind Your followers of Your lovingkindness, mercy and forgiveness. The entirety of Romans 8 describes Your grace given believers and the glories of Heaven that await us after we leave here. Pity those poor “intellectual elite” souls. When they leave here, they face an unknown eternity.
Knowing You, Jesus, makes life worthwhile. Amen.
THANKFUL
