“12Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. 13Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, ‘You will not call to account’? 14But you see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hand; to you the helpless commits himself; you have bee the helper of the fatherless. 15Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account til you find none.” – Psalm 10:12-15 (ESV)
We are all accountable. If not in the world, to God.
I struggle daily with feelings of persecution, and what I feel is a lack of appreciation, and being “dumped on”, and not taken seriously. This is difficult for me I need all the help I can get to pull myself up.
That is where verses like this really make an impact. God will take care of us. He will hold them accountable those that should be. Those that take advantage may not even know that they are, although I suspect otherwise based on human nature to concern ourselves with “self” first and over all else.
God’s Word is the only with the ability to keep me going. God’s Word drives our lives and allows us to continue looking for the good. God’s Word gives us hope of better. We have to lean on God and His Word each day and know that He will prevail.
When you are out there, are you feeling persecuted and under-appreciated? Are you looking for those against you to be held accountable? Will you take solace in the fact that God will hold accountable?
