Payback? (Count: Psalm 135)
Yep, that's me - a little behind on the journey through Psalms. During the next couple of days, I'll get caught up, starting on Psalm 135, a great praise to the God who responds.
Because of God's track record in helping Israel, He is worthy of trust.
Because of God's power and compassion, He is worthy of praise.
Because of verses like this...
"For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants" (Psalm 135:14)...
We have GOT to remember these things about the character of God.
He will stand up for His own. He will not let evil go unpunished.
Often, in this world, it seems like He actually does let evil go unpunished. People get away with horrible crimes. We all know that and probably have a story that would cry out for a better ending. ABC has such a show now, called InJustice. Though I have not seen it and do not want to, they seemed to begin the promotion of the show by highlighting stories where justice has not been served. It's common. It bothers us. It obviously doesn't seem right.
But God will deal with it. God will rescue the victims - those who turn to Him and love and fear Him.
God will ultimately punish evil - in this life or the next.
