Does this sound familiar? David echoes the question of Job and the question of men today. “How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me? How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight?”Who are these that speak? These are they that say: “Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.”
Yet, we know that God is still in the same place He has always been and He hears just as he heard the voice of Job and now of David. The same is true for us! We can know for certain this truth that David wrote: “The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.” And what did David finally conclude? “Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one.”
So when you feel adrift or wondering about today and tomorrow and the next day about the people about you, recall these verses as a challenge to witness to His loving kindness. Why? So that they may come to know the true God and His plan to save each one because He is not wiling that any should perish but come to repentance.
