TRUE VINDICATION

Psalms 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

Our natural world has its unbreakable laws of physics. These can be cruel sometimes in their merciless indifference to our feelings and desires. If a child defies the laws of gravity in bending over a balcony, gravity will not reason that it would break its parent’s hearts if the child died, or that it will ruin his life if the injuries incurred by the fall would cripple him for the rest of his life. These laws will resiliently allow mankind to reap the results of its own careless foolishness with no questions asked for love, justice or mercy.

God has also established spiritual principles, which are equally immutable. From the beginning of times in the Garden of Eden as well as with the first set of children ever born on this earth, the evil one has hated the righteous and has tried to kill him. Things have not changed very much indeed. The devil still hates those who follow God and tries to lure them away from their loyalties by using every trick in the book, and sad to say, if it were not for the eventual supernatural intervention of the Lord (Revelations 19:11), he would be succeeding. But we know the devil’s end--that he will be desolate. That his own evil will repay him and the same goes for all those who follow him in his wicked deeds against God’s people.

Let us not worry about fighting against the forces of evil. They are doomed to self-defeat. Let that be an encouragement for us; let it cheer us up. The enemy of our soul has already been defeated a long time ago by the blood of Jesus. We will surely watch him receive the full measure of his rewards hanging on the gallows of his own evil purposes (Esther 9:25).

Let us therefore just cling to Jesus. Let us obey His Words and be faithful to Him. Let us call upon His name and upon His blood of redemption shed for us, and in the end my brother, my sister, we will see total vindication.

Psalms 37:39-40 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.  (40)  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
