God sees and acts.

But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,

that you may take it into your hands;

to you the helpless commits himself;

you have been the helper of the fatherless.

Psalm 10:14

This verse is given in answer to Psalm 10:13 which asks a questions along these lines: “Why do wicked people renounce God and convince themselves God does not hold anyone accountable for their actions?” And the answer in verse 14 simply is: “That assumption is all wrong.”

God sees everything that human beings do. And He know the motives behind what they do. What’s more, He takes action against the evil that people do, having the final authority in judgment over sin. Those who are helpless and without any means of human justice have their Defender in Almighty God.

Do you ever feel helpless? It is easy to feel so in these uncertain times. Commit your situation to a wise God Who has it all under His control. Christian, He Who has saved Your soul in Jesus will take care of you. You are not fatherless. Jesus Himself has promised: “I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you” (John 14:18).

Lord, 

You are help for the helpless and Father to the fatherless. You see what is wrong. You enact justice and call us to endure until You so act. You DO SEE! You take it into Your hands! You are indeed our trust.

Amen
