No hiding place

Psalm 10:11-18

The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us! He has closed His eyes and won’t even see what we do!”

Arise, O Lord! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless!

Why do the wicked get away with despising God?

They think, “God will never call us to account.”

But You see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them.

The helpless put their trust in You. You defend the orphans.

Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed.

The Lord is King forever and ever! The godless nations will vanish from the land.

Lord, You know the hopes of the helpless. Surely You will hear their cries and comfort them.

You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them.

A recent quotation from President Zelensky said:

Putin won’t be able to hide from God; ‘No bunker can protect you’

The Jerusalem Post (via MSN.com) reports: Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that “No bunker can protect you from God” on Thursday after Russian forces targeted the Cathedral of the Assumption in its assault on Kharkiv, according to Ukrayinska Pravda.

“It is a holy place. Now, wrecked by the war. Even this does not deter them! They count on the fact that God’s retribution isn’t instant. But He sees. And answers. You cannot hide from His answers. No bunker can protect you from God’s answers,” said Zelensky

In effect this Psalm is a promise from the Lord that He does see and will act.

It is a mystery why He doesn't act immediately and so many innocent people are caught in the crossfire of war.

But a look back in history reveals that there is a certain end for the heartless dictators whose armies are ruthless aggressors.

Tyrants eventually fall into their own traps and are defeated.

Obadiah 1:6-7

But how Esau will be ransacked, his hidden treasures pillaged! All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not detect it.

President Zelensky said it right - there's no hiding place from God!

Continue to pray, we may be small and weak, but our God is strong and mighty to save!
