Many Trouble Me

"Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me."  Psalm 3:1.  The wicked trouble the righteous.  The righteous are disturbed by the actions of the wicked.  The righteous seek Godliness for all.  We, like God, long for the salvation of the lost.  The wicked are lost because of their rebellion against God.  The wicked seek to impose their ungodly ways upon the righteous.  They want the acceptance of the righteous for their evil deeds.  The righteous are not allowed to speak against the evil of the day.  The troops of evil men gain numbers each day.  Their ungodly ways seem to permeate the earth.  Pollution abounds.  The earth reeks with the sinfulness of the hour.  Multitudes of wicked men are going down the road of destruction.  The doers of evil are increasing in number.  The devil allures more and more into his snare of doom.  The highway that leads to hell increases with travelers.  And so, the righteous are troubled.  Our hearts ache that so many are deceived.  We weep tears as the prophet of old because of the way of wicked men.  Evil has risen against us and troubles our very soul.
