Cauldrons of Evil
Is this any way to run a country? Is there an honest politician in the house? Behind the scenes you brew cauldrons of evil, behind closed doors you make deals with demons. ~ Psalms 58:1-2 MSG
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.” ~ Psalms 58:11 ESV
While reading my Bible study today, Psalms 58:1-11 in The Message translation really stood out. David’s words felt strikingly relevant, as if he were describing the very challenges we see in our country today—corruption, injustice, and the wicked working in secret. “Poison, lethal rattlesnake poison, drips from their forked tongues ~ Psalms 58:4 MSG”. But what stood out most was the reminder that evil cannot hide forever; when exposed to the light, it resists, but truth prevails. Just as David trusted in God’s justice, we, too, can find hope that righteousness will ultimately triumph over darkness.

Listen to John MacArthur on today’s scripture below:
Mark by John MacArthur
First and foremost the Bible is the revelation of God. It is His own word on Himself. More than anything else it is His story. Behind Zacharias and behind Elizabeth and behind Mary and behind John and even behind the coming of Jesus is the great and mighty revelation of God. His nature, His character, His works, His purpose, His will, He is being revealed. In fact, at all points in the Bible, God is teaching the truth about Himself. He is the one dominating figure in biblical revelation. The Bible simply is a book about God. It starts with God and it ends with God and everything in between is about Him. ~ John MacArthur
