Those Who Are Upright in Their Hearts?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are upright in their hearts. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Wickedness and evildoers are both referenced in Psalm 125:3-5 (ESV). Yet, there is good news for those who follow the Lord. “Do good, O Lord, to those who are good…”
“For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!
But those who turn aside to their crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be upon Israel!”
At the end of Psalm 125, we learn about what happens to those who turn to their crooked ways. Are you tempted to follow crooked ways?
Stop and reconsider. God will accept a person with a sincere heart who asks forgiveness of his or her sins. Change direction before it is too late.
