3 How long, LORD, shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked glory?
4 How long will they mouth haughty speeches, go on boasting, all these evildoers?
5 They crush your people, LORD, torment your very own.
6 They kill the widow and alien; the fatherless they murder.
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you be wise?
9 Does the one who shaped the ear not hear? The one who formed the eye not see?
10 Does the one who guides nations not rebuke? The one who teaches humans not have knowledge?
11 The LORD does know human plans; they are only puffs of air. (NAB)
We pray O Lord that we will not despair the world we live in.
May our hope be in you, O Lord.

No body is watching me, I can get away with it. No one will know. It is okay if no one knows and I don’t tell anyone what I have done or failed to do. Does a falling tree in a forest make a sound if no one is there to hear it? YES! God is always watching, always listening. He IS the “contractor”. He makes all the plans for the whole world.
How silly we can be sometimes!!
