In a Galaxy Far, Far Away... (Psalm 10)

Some people think God is like a Star Wars movie...that He most likely is not real and if He exists, He's "far, far away" and not really interested in what's going on here on puny earth.

Unfortunately, many take this view. For example, in Psalm 10, the author feels God is indeed "far off" (v1). Yet, the answer comes in later verses that God does indeed see (v14) and hear (v17) what is happening on this 3rd rock He created.

Notice some characteristics of those who would like to ignore God:

• arrogant, wicked, and scheming - 2
  
• greedy for gain; curses and renounces the Lord - 3
  
• pride; curses and renounces the Lord - 4
  
• they seem to prosper; - 5
  
• thinks nothing will happen - 6
  
• curses, deceit and oppression are common - 7
  
• would rather set a trap and ambush the weak, rather than help them - 8-10
  
• thinks either God has forgotten or will not see what happens on this earth - 11
  
• thinks they will never be brought to account - 13
  

What should we do? We should remember that God does see, hear and will bring justice (14, 17, 18). Until that happens, remain faithful and don't give up! God will strengthen you (17).
