How long?


There's not a sign or symbol of God in sight, nor anyone to speak in his name, no one who knows what's going on. How long, God, will barbarians blaspheme, enemies curse and get by with it? Why don't you do something? How long are you going to sit there with your hands folded in your lap? God is my King from the very start; he works salvation in the womb of the earth. ... With your finger you opened up springs and creeks, and dried up the wild floodwaters. You own the day, you own the night; you put stars and sun in place. You laid out the four corners of earth, shaped the seasons of summer and winter.

When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?' The night drags on, and I toss till dawn.

They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth

Oh! Teach us to live well! Teach us to live wisely and well! Come back, God—how long do we have to wait? ...Surprise us with love at daybreak; then we'll skip and dance all the day long. Make up for the bad times with some good times…. Let your servants see what you're best at— the ways you rule and bless your children. And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work that we do. Oh, yes. Affirm the work that we do.

And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

Psalm 74:9 Job 7:4 Revelation 6:10 Psalm 90:12 Ephesians 3:18

The more we think about God’s Word, the less we’ll think about our worries.
