Psalm 94

Last week we read the words of Psalm 93, “The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty.” This week, in Psalm 94, we come to a very different kind of Psalm. This is a Psalm that deals with the evil in this world. Sometimes we see it - and other times we experience it. We personally experience it. We have been harmed and hurt deeply. There may be pain that never quite goes away. And in the midst of that, we may not have seen any real justice. As followers of the LORD Jesus Christ, as those who have placed their trust in Him, how do we deal with it? The Word of God teaches us how to rightly think about these very real issues in our lives.
