When we see an example of the power and judgment of God according to His ways it is always profound.
It’s interesting to me those who claim the absence of God when he “allows” evil in our world today. And I’m reminded through Psalm 9 that our timing is not His timing. That He is righteous. And that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The issue of Him “allowing” is not an issue of what, but more so an issue of when. Stand firm child of God, He will judge righteously. As the scripture claims (vs.10), He has never forsaken those who seek Him.
While our timeline is everything to us, it is but a blip on the radar of God’s agenda. Today is so small in respect to Eternity. We should be mindful not to allow our way of thinking and limited perspective to create doubt or concern in our faith. Instead, in considering His timelessness, we should find comfort.
“The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” – Psalm 9:7-10

"Those who know Your name will trust in You ..." That word trust, that has me thinkig a lot lately. The trust that comes from knowing God. Truly knowing God is more than just reading a devotional and thinking. I think it goes deeper into the world of relationships. I use the phrase treehugger to cover things that are too "out there" to come up with words. I think the relationship that causes us to truly 100% without a shadow of a doubt trust God is very much a treehugger relationship. We can not see God. Most of time we can not hear His voice, at least I can't. To truly say, "You lead I'll follow to the end of the earth." That is true knowing and trusting.
