PSALMS 146:9
BUT THE WAY OF THE WICKED HE TURNS UPSIDE DOWN
In Psalms 146 starting in verse 3, we read and learn that, as Spiritually Minded Believers, we are not to put our earnest and heartfelt trust in man, no matter their position or status in life. Verse 4 explains why: they are just men whose bodies go back to the earth and whose spirit departs when death comes. In that very day, their plans perish.
Verse 5 tells us that happy are we who hope in the Lord and have the God of Jacob (or Israel) as our help. Verse 6 describes how He made the earth, the sea, the entire universe, and all it contains. It also states that He keeps truth forever!
Verse 7 states that He executes justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, and grants freedom to the prisoners. Verse 8 tells us He opens the eyes of the blind and raises whoever appears to be bowed down. He loves the righteous people. Verse 9 explains that He watches over the strangers and relieves the fatherless and the widow. (This word "relieves" actually means to duplicate or repeat and restore.) But the way of the wicked He turns upside down! Finally, in verse 10, we discover that the Lord shall reign forever!
As Spiritually Minded Believers, we already know these truths. However, it always does our souls good to re-discover them, to refresh them, and to bring them to the forefront of our thinking. With a renewed mind and sense of urgency, we can then share them with others, especially as we see that day approaching!
