Psalm 5
Today's Scripture

For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.

So many of the psalms are the cry of our hearts. They ask for vindication when we have been wronged, they plead to the Lord for relief from evil doers, from harm and grief.

The Lord hears and listens to our cries--we can come to him and any time with our needs. He hates evil, and one day all evil will cease and those who caused pain will be punished, if they do not seek forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

In our world today, we see the results of evil every day in our newspapers, on our televisions, on the internet, and sometimes in our daily lives. But God will conquer all and we can rest in this assurance. In the meantime, we can take refuge in him, be glad for his protection, and seek his righteousness as our shield.
