Without hope? Lord, RISE UP!

 The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does.

    Evil people are trapped by what they have done.

Sinful people go down to the place of the dead.
    So do all the nations that forget God.

But God will never forget needy people.
    The hope of those who are hurting will never die.

Lord, rise up. Don’t let people win the battle.
    Let the nations come to you and be judged.

Lord, strike them with terror.
Let the nations know they are only human beings.(Psalm 9:16-20)

Here we are, stuck in neutral it seems as a Nation. We seem to have gone backwards concerning the pandemic.  Our politics are in a state of confusion. Many people are running in fear getting tested for an illness for which they have no symptoms! With the Holydays approaching, many are still without jobs, without money and food, and without hope!

Well, as the psalmist wrote, those who forget God will be in need alright . . .in need of Him! Nations without God will suffer now and eternally! However, God will never forget those who cry out to Him in need! (Psalm 9:18) 

Lord, RISE UP! Revive us! Use us to meet other's needs as You meet ours. Let the lost see Your works and seek after You!

Lord, RISE UP
