Psalm 117

    Praise the LORD, all nations!
        Extol him, all peoples!
    For great is his steadfast love toward us,
        and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
    Praise the LORD!

This psalm is short, yes, but so strong and doxological! All nations, all peoples... the promise God made to Abraham became a reality through Christ. God's covenant love is steadfast and sure. He will never forsake His own.

And His promise to judge the wicked is just as certain as His faithfulness to His people. My heart cries out against the moral breakdown of our society, the completely illogical arguments of my "friends," and the gruesome crimes committed by God's enemies. "The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth" (Romans 1:18). They might think they have no one to answer to, but God is faithful in all He has said, and that includes punishing the wicked for all eternity. There but for the grace of God go I. Thank you, Father, for changing my heart and giving me Thy life-giving Spirit.
