“The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.” (Psalm 33:5 NIV).
In a world wracked by sin, it is sometimes too easy to dwell on the negative. Our news shows and newspapers are filled with bad news and it seems to be getting worse everyday.
But there is good news. Our text reminds us “the earth is full of his unfailing love.” Everywhere we turn we see evidence of God’s love, mercy and grace at work.
In times of tragedy there are those who are quick to implicate God, “Where was He when that event was happening?” is the common question/accusation. I am convinced that the reason we don’t see God in our times of tragedy is because we don’t see Him in our times of joy! C.S. Lewis went as far as to suggest that when things are going good in our lives instead of seeing His unfailing love which fills the earth we view Him “as an interruption.” Yet we become upset if He seems silent or absent in our times of need. We can’t have it both ways.
Instead of stressing over the negative things in your life today, focus on the blessings. See the good that is all around us; the quiet works of those who seek after justice and righteousness.
