[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 58]] ## Title: Trust God's Justice ## Scripture: (Psalm 58:10-11) The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then observers will say, “Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded. Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth.” (NET) ## Observation: The book of Psalms is filled with songwriters talking about justice and the need for God to act. As a leader, I hear people say they don't want strong leadership until chaos comes close to their home. I've heard people say the same about parenting. I have watched parents talk about the joy of just letting their kids do whatever they want and "explore their world." They say this as though it is the right way to go. Meanwhile, the other people in the room are the victims of their "exploration." There is nothing wrong with giving people room to explore and learn the world around them, but God is the one who set up boundaries and rules. Look at the first five books of the Bible. These rules and regulations were to keep people free from bondage to each other and in right standing with Him. When things are violated, our hearts cry out for justice. That is why today's passage is a blessing. It reminds us that it is okay to seek justice and to know that it will come from the one place where justice is fair for all. ## Application: Do the best you can, but trust God to bring justice in His timing. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for making all things right in the end.
