Knowing God - The Lord Laughs at the Wicked

Ps 37:13

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.



In this psalm we read the verse before that…”the wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.” The Lord tells us that he will laugh at him. The Lord knows that all that the wicked wish upon God’s people is nothing compared to the Lord’s ability to defend and bless.  The threats and vile comments thrown at those who seek to honor the Lord are heard by their Defender.  The Lord sees the final chapter.  Even in the time of the Great Tribulation where His people will go through incredible suffering and persecution, the Lord knows that the cries of those who have suffered at the hand of the wicked, hasten the coming judgment and finality for both the wicked and those who are His.  We must get our eyes on the One who sees every wicked plot, hears every threatening word, and remember not to take vengeance.  Vengeance belongs to the Lord and He will repay.  We must forgive, love those who hate us, do good to those who do evil to us, bless those who curse and commit our souls to a faithful Creator who sees that their day is coming.
