Psalm 94:11-23
Psalm 94:11-23
“Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” The psalmist asked those two questions in Psalm 94 verse 16 and I wonder what kind of an answer you and I are going to give. Who indeed will stand up with God against the evildoers? Who will stand up with God against the workers of iniquity? Now there are times when we must act. There are times when we pray. There are times when we wait. There are times when God says, “Not now, I’ll take care of it.” But there are times when we must act! There are times when Moses must stand up and lead the people out. There are times when David must move in and perform the judgment of God. There are times when those of us who are the light of the world must stand up and shine.
Those of us who are the salt of the earth must apply that salt to the decay in the world today. There is a time to act. Oh how easy it is to be a spectator. You say, “Well I’ll pray about it.” Good. Be sure you do. But now God says, “Who’s going to stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” Well, those who know that God is their help. Verse 17, “Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.” Verse 22, “But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.” When God is your help, you can stand up against the sin in this world; when you have the strength of God that comes from the Word. “In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul,” verse 19. He was feeding on the Word of God getting strength and encouragement from God.
Those who are separated from sin; verse 20, “Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee, who frameth mischief by a law?” We have laws today that provide for the defense of a lot of sin and yet those who are separated from sin can stand up with God against iniquity. Those who believe in God’s victory, that the Lord is going to give us the victory ultimately. Well, we may lose a few battles but thank God we’re going to win the war. There is a time to wait. There is a time to pray. There’s also a time to declare war. Will we stand with God today against iniquity?
