Forever

Psalm 92 says How great are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts! Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,  that though the wicked spring up like grass

 and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Look at the progression of this passage.

The psalmist begins by stating how great and profound the Lord is towards him.  His thoughts toward us are endless and imaginative and amazing!

He then realizes something.

We look at evildoers in the world and wonder why – why do they get away with the evil that they inflict on their children, innocent people in theaters, careful drivers on the road – and wreak such havoc on the earth?

Here we are reminded that it’s senseless to think that God is not aware and that evil will reign.  In fact, the opposite is true.  Evil will be destroyed.

Forever.

And until that time, we wait in understanding this one thing:

God is great. God is God.  God is the righteous judge. And we are not.
