Psalm 146:7 (ESV) —
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
NOTE: Verses 5-9 are
the heart of the psalm, and the Psalmist's argument for how God cares. A
problem is that we don't see justice for the oppressed or food for the hungry
or prisoners (wrongly prisoned) set free. But that does not mean that God does
not do these things, only that we do not see them for everyone. To a certain
extent, that is our own failure. We rebelled. We did not want God to rule over
our lives and God acquiesced to our stupidity, hoping that our experiment with
self-god-ness would show us how much of a failure it is. What I see, is that
most people are not convinced. They seem to argue that there is always
something else to be done that prevents us from achieving utopia. I am
convinced that the elimination of Christians and Christian morals will be the
ultimate last steps. In fact, those actions might coincide with the rapture (as
God once again gives man what he wants to his own hurt). It will certainly be
one of the goals of the tribulation as the Antichrist seeks to destroy all those
who come to faith during the last days. God does care and no matter what is
happening in history or in our lives, God looks down on earth and is watching
over his children. We need fear not.
