Justice is Coming

Good morning and welcome in everybody.  Today, we are going to take a look at a passage of scripture from The book of Psalms.

Psalms 35 ¹ (A Psalm of David.) Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. ² Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. ³ Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. ⁴ Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. ⁵ Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. ⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

In this Psalm of David, He is asking the Lord to protect and avenge Him. He desires to be delivered from the evil that people are committing against Him. Avenge means to inflict harm and punish someone who has harmed you; or someone you care about. He’s crying out to God for justice on his behalf. The scriptures are clear that we are not to avenge ourselves, but rather we must place our faith completely in God to take care of the matter. 

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

The Lord Jesus speaks about an unjust judge who wouldn’t do justice until he was finally forced to because of inconvenience. On the other hand, when we cry out to God for justice, He will come quickly to the aid of His Faithful servants. 

Luke 18 ² Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: ³ And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵ Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. ⁶ And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁸ I tell you that he will avenge them speedily…..

There are all kinds of injustices that go on each day in the world, reaching even into the highest levels of government. But when Moses went into Egypt to prophesy to the Pharaoh, we find that nobody is untouchable when it comes to the justice of God Almighty. God is not mocked, and when people do evil towards others, God is going to bring it right back upon their own heads. Just watch as it happens.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7

God knows who is faithfully serving Him, and His ears are open to their prayers. When they cry out to Him for justice, he will come to the rescue. The moment that we place our complete trust in Him by refusing to retaliate against those who hurt us, the evildoers come under the judgment and jurisdiction of the Almighty God. Wait on the Lord, and He will administer His vengeance upon all those who hate you.

Psalms 25 ¹⁹ Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. ²⁰ O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

“O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.” Psalms 31:23

Psalms 18 ⁴⁷ It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

⁴⁸ He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Christians are not supposed to resist evil, which means not to stand in the way of somebody who wrongs you. When people do wrong to us, we need to suffer and allow it to happen. God is watching, and when He sees you endure these things, He will strike back at those who have hurt us with His fury. 

“Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.” Romans 12:17

Remember that Jesus spoke out against the evil works of this world, but He didn’t resist evil. What I mean by that, is that He could have destroyed the entire world in the blink of an eye, but He allowed Himself to suffer and die on the cross instead. 

Matthew 5 ³⁸ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: ³⁹ But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

“Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.” Proverbs 20:22

We don’t need to avenge ourselves because God will. Consider in Acts chapter 5, when Ananias and Sapphira lied to Peter. Peter didn’t kill them, God did. When Peter was in prison he didn’t free himself. God did. When the Israelites were cornered on the banks of the Red Sea, they didn’t battle the Egyptians, God did. 

Psalms 34 ⁶ This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. ⁷ The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

“Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.”  Proverbs 24:29

Our faith must be so strong, that rather than going to Earthly courtrooms or law enforcement for justice, we cry out to the God of Justice instead.

1 Corinthians 6 ⁶ But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

We must allow ourselves to suffer, and then watch as God avenges us and casts the horse and rider into the sea.

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” Exodus 15:1

Hebrews 10 ³⁰ For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

God hears the cries of His faithful and obedient Saints. When people cause them to suffer, it provokes Him to anger, and He will quickly rise up and fight for them. We must never cease to cry out to God day and night to avenge us, and deliver us from evil, for the day of their calamity is at hand. 

“To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.” Deuteronomy 32:35

Those who do evil to others have no fear of God, which is why they will encounter His vengeance. They may run, they may hide, but they will never escape, because God’s righteousness will prevail, and His….
