Justice: Here and at Home

Psalm 5:4-6
     For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
     Nor shall evil dwell with You.
     The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;
     You hate all workers of iniquity.
     You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
     The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Five months ago, a friend of mine was murdered.  Five months later, there were finally 5 associated people arrested.  My heart breaks for his little brother and his parents, but finally closure can begin.  Remembering that God is faithful and that he is a God of restoration.

"You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted;
You encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

Defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
IN ORDER THAT MAN, WHO IS OF THE EARTH,
MAY TERRIFY NO MORE."

Psalm 10:17-18

I love this verse SO much. It is especially applicable to life here in India, to remind us that these atrocities do not go unseen by God. Praise Him.

Love, Sally
