"It Is Time For Action"

"Lord, it is time for you to act, for these evil people have violated Your instructions." (Psalm 119:126, NLT)

How so very timely, and in this hour of global chaos, He is acting.  "Evil people," the world over and since the Garden, "have violated Your instructions," but there is a global expression of, "evil people," which in a global age is bringing the world, yes, to Armageddon.  A rendition of our text could be, "Lord, it is time for action."

Some were disturbed that yesterday I prayed for the attack on the US Embassy in Cairo.  I did not pray for people to be injured or killed, and thank Jesus that did not occur.  But later in the day we heard of the murder of four of America's diplomatic mission in Libya.  This will spread.  Notice the increased tension between Israel and America, most poignantly, the American President and the Israeli Prime Minister, while the Islamists of Iran are plotting the murder of world Jewry and the submission of the Planet.  The Bible describes our text and the world condition further in Psalm 82:5, "They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable."

The only stability is The Word of God; but you know that.  Some may ask, "Well then, why do you keep repeating that over and over."  Simple; "....Evil people have violated Your instructions," and they will continue to do so, day after day, year after year, until, "the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ."  So as long as the world violates, "Your instructions," the Church needs to ceaselessly remind them of the, "Words of God," Incarnate in Jesus Christ.  It is a battle, a constant, never ending battle between the Kingdom of Darkness and the Kingdom of Light, the former led by Satan, the latter, by King Jesus.  Some may grow weary of God repeating Himself; I do not. I am very thankful for the constant flow of His Words to my soul, writing them and Him in my mind and heart.

In the midst of an unstable world, we have Father's love, security, protection, guidance, direction, "Let not your hearts be troubled."  His Word is a constant repetition of this.  I say with the psalmist the words in the verse following today's text, "Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes than fine gold!"

Father, in Jesus' Name, in the midst of an unstable world, I thank You for Your repetitive Words.  Amen.
