Sermon: God Who Judges the Earth

Seven Mile Road

When our blood boils for justice, when we are so wronged, so hurt, so betrayed, and it seems the injustice of our enemies has free rein, what do we do? We call on the name of God, we expect the God of the universe to right all the wrongs.It’s in Psalm 58 that we see this honest plea to our just God, but we also see a stranger expectation that the wrongdoers will bleed, and that the plight of the wicked would be to the joy of the Saints. David seems to wish harm upon his enemies, interesting. How does a Christian understand this Psalm, in what way can a Christian maintain a holy expectation of God’s vengeance.
