HE KNOWS

Nahum 1:7

The Lord is merciful to those who wait on Him in the day of affliction, and He knows those who reverence Him.

Personal Challenge

It has become acceptable in our culture to say one thing and do something completely contrary to that which we say. We can say that we are pro-life and yet cheer when people are mistreated because of their skin color and foreign accent and then deported. We shout about how important it is to be anti-abortion and yet take glee in taking away the funds for those who need support in raising their children. We claim that it is the Christian thing to do to love our neighbor and yet delight in demeaning and degrading those who do not match our white, male, protestant view by removing their history and achievements from public view. This is not the Lord that we serve, and He knows who is truly waiting on Him and giving Him true reverence versus those who are just mouthing it. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord have mercy!
