Psalms 75~ God Will Bring Justice

Reading Psalms 75. This Psalm paints the picture of the sovereignty of God. Everything worth starting is worth starting in a place of thanks and recognition of God’s presence. The contrast of people everywhere telling of God’s wonderful deeds and all He has done and giving praise, vs the picture of people raising their fists in defiance. You can spend your life praising or complaining. The psalmist is bothered by the defiance of the people. God will bring justice in God’s timing and God alone will judge, deciding who will rise and who will fall. Our job is to praise God and proclaim His wonderful deeds. The repeated theme throughout the bible of the cost of following the LORD and the call to go and make disciples. God’s ways and plans are so good and so different than the way humans use strength to force submission. The wicked often do not like to be corrected. We need to encourage each other and find encouragement in the word to continue despite the wicked’s negative reception to the truth of God.
