Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God hates it when the innocent are afflicted with violence and bloodshed. God hates evil and political corruption. He hates false courts and leaders who abuse their power. We can rest assured that God will deliver his faithful followers and administer ultimate justice to those who have abused their positions and harmed others. God's faithfulness and justice will prevail!

My Prayer...

Father, thank you for assuring me that your justice will ultimately be done with those who are violent, corrupt, wicked, and abusive. Please give your people the patience they need to wait in hope until your day of ultimate justice is accomplished. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
