Winston Salem church of Christ

I yell “Help!”  God says nothing.  I cry “How long?”  God says nothing.  Confused I shudder in prayer, “But people are hurting?!”  God says nothing.

The hurting continues…the hurt ones, the widows, the orphans, and the strangers, those alone in the world; suffering from the powerful, the arrogant, the ones claiming “God does not see.”   

What can I do?  I can stand up against the evildoers, and rally those who agree.  I can take a stand for righteousness against the wicked, and fortify myself with friends.  I can examine myself for flaws against God’s laws.  I can pray for help when I have failed.  I can do what I can do, and then wait for what God will do. 

Most importantly, I can remember and trust that God will make what is wrong, right…because God has already spoken.

Now read Psalm 94.
