Psalm 21 speaks of the king trusting in the Lord and of God's vengeance upon his enemies. As I was coming back from Jacksonville on a business trip a while ago (1998) I came upon a very severe traffic jam. The two lanes of traffic were at a crawl. At various times some people would cheat and come down the right-hand breakdown lane. I thought, “here are these rude people taking advantage of the rest of us who are trying to be polite to each other and keep order and the law. These have no concern but for themselves. They will never receive punishment for their wrong doing that I will see. I wonder if God even cares to take vengeance on such little things when much worse are happening.”
But when we got to the bridge over Lake Mary the police were pulling these over to the side and giving them tickets. Yes, these were receiving the vengeance due to them. Yes, God does care about such things. Yes, it is worth while to have faith in God, that he will do what he says he will do. Yes, it is worth while doing the right thing.
