God really does know what’s going on in our country, in ourcities, and especially in our own hearts. Listen to what was confronting Davidin Psalm 55:9-11

Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech,

for I see violence and strife in the city.

Day and night they prowl about on its walls;

malice and abuse are within it.

Destructive forces are at work in the city;

threats and lies never leave its streets.

David could have written this today or just about anytime inhistory and for the future as far as we can see. We think it is worse today thanit was back then because we have so many more ways to do violence and havestrife in our cities. I don’t need to list the problems. Besides, if I did,some of you would actually agree with some of the malice and abuse. Then youwould be yelling at me.

But this is for sure, regardless of your belief system, destructiveforces are at work in the city. Satan is wreaking havoc. There are threats andcounter threats by those who are wicked or very much deceived by those who arewicked. So we have lies that never leave the streets.

Sounds mightily depressing, doesn’t it? But David and I havefaith that the Lord is in control. He tells us in verse 22

Cast your cares on the Lord

and he will sustain you;

he will never let the righteous fall.

The cities may fall, and I can guarantee you that the wickedwill pass away. But if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will outlivethem all in eternity. If you don’t know Him, you are in trouble because Davidsays in verse 23, “But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit ofcorruption.”
