Sunday Psalms;

Psalms 10:1, 17-18 CEB

[1] Why do you stand so far away, LORD, hiding yourself in troubling times?  

...

[17]   LORD, you listen to the desires of those who suffer. 

You steady their hearts; you listen closely to them, to establish justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that people of the land will never again be terrified.

Psalms 10:1, 17-18 CEB

This song asks one of those tough questions.

Where are you God when bad things happen?

When the world seems to be ruled by corruption and evil.

When my life, my world, is upended, when things aren't as they "should" be.

And the Redemptive Strand is here.

He does listen.

He is close.

In Jesus He did make a way.

And there will be Justice.

There will be freedom, shalom, peace.

One day all will be made new.

The hope of the Gospel, the Good News, is here. 

It's OK to want to see God's Justice now, in a world where so much seems upsidedown, in the same way the writer of this song wanted to see that, and every generation since then.

For now, we get glimpses, and to hold on to the hope that we have in Jesus, that He is the waymaker, and He has already overcome all that is broken and hurt.
