God Springs into Action
Psalm 68:1 – God springs into action! His enemies scatter; his adversaries run from him. 2 – As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God.
verse 3 – But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy. 4 – Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the LORD is his name! Rejoice before him! 5 – He is a father to the fatherless and an advocate for widows. God rules from his holy palace. 6 – God settles those who have been deserted in their own homes; he frees prisoners and grants them prosperity. But sinful rebels live in the desert.
I’ve always enjoyed imagining what the second coming of Jesus will be like. In these verses the enemies of God will not be putting up much of a fight. “As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God.”
Be on guard so that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he has made with you, and that you do not make an image of any kind, just as he has forbidden you. For the LORD your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous God. – Deuteronomy 4:23,24.
Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages. He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people. He says: “Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!” The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge. (Selah) – Psalm 50:3-6.
When Jesus springs into action and returns it will be unforgettable! The godly will be overcome with joy. The ungodly will not be happy for the arrival of this day. Godly or ungodly, which would you rather be? Let Jesus be your father. Let Him be your advocate.
Things may be tough now but if we trust Jesus, He promises a mighty deliverance. May our hearts be settled in His love today!
