Did you ever read a Passage of Scripture (maybe for the 10th time) and suddenly see something “new, fresh, previously unnoticed?”

That just happened to me!

Nestled in the midst of beautiful Psalm 146, nonetheless! After a Litany (List) of great things our God does … the writer adds: “But the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.”

Wow!

This ungodly world has certainly turned the ways of God upside down! They’re now calling wrong things (in God’s Eyes) to be right things (in man’s eyes)!

Read Isaiah 5:20 now … “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Yes, upside down!

In addition, our Christian witness nowadays seems to be less effective, if it even exists at all in parts of the nation. Whereas once the Church powerfully and positively impacted the world for Christ. The unbelieving Thessalonians in back Paul’s day lamented … “These that HAVE TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN are come hither also.” Acts 17:6, way to go, Paul and company!

But praise be to God, the moral chaos of the 21st century will not last forever! Let’s go back to Psalm 146:9 … “The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: BUT THE WAY OF THE WICKED HE TURNETH UPSIDE DOWN.”

Sounds like, Biblically speaking, this old world is facing some real tribulation in her future! Real turmoil! Real inversion! A real Sifting! When God in judgment gets a hold of it!

I am so glad I’m saved! Aren’t you? Hebrews 12:27 boldly says there are some things which “cannot be shaken!”

Cannot be turned upside down!

Hallelujah!

I am anchored to a solid Rock, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will never be “turned upside down!”

“He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, AND SET MY FEET UPON A ROCK, and established my goings.” Psalm 40:2, what a testimony in an unstable world!
