Psalm 11 The Message (MSG)
In our Psalter reading for today, David reminds us God’s mission is to set things right—everything in a straight line under his authority. Just think about that for a minute. God is looking to set creation straight, set humanity straight, and set you and me straight; in a straight line to his heart as the righteous Ruler. He is calling us to bow in obedience to his laws of love.
Are you going through a time of testing? Feeling a bit pressed and overwhelmed? Remember, everything believers seem to experience must first go through the cross of Christ (since we belong to him) and must work for our long-term good, because getting all things going in a righteous line is God’s mission. Like David, we would be wise to run to the arms of God and cooperate with his work in us, because he is in charge of all things.
