O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth

The wicked will not triumph. Our world is so filled with violence and wickedness, and it has been since sinned entered. Cain slew Abel and he didn't need a gun to do so. Evil inside of people will cause them to commit evil atrocities in any form they can. Bombs, guns, weapons that can cause mass harm are awful. Yet because they exist how do we take them from people? If we can't take them from all people, how can we take them from some? If we can't do away with all the weapons- then evil will find a way to get them. Am I an advocate for gun control? No, not really because we can't keep them from the evil who would break laws to get their weapons. Honestly, me personally, I do not believe in having a gun. I do not want to kill even in order to protect myself or my loved ones. Why? Just because that is how I believe, how I feel. I hope I'm not tested on this, by the grace of God I never will be.
 

I know that God will avenge any evil done, and all those who are un-repentant of their evil will be destroyed into non-existence. I have to trust that my God knows that the evil will not triumph. There will be no evil in eternity, none.

Truly we can't live as if this is our world, the world we belong to, because it isn't.  This evil world is far from the world we were intended to have. We will one day, all by the grace and mercy of our Savior, Jesus Christ be in our new world, the world intended, the world without evil.

Psa 94:1  O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 

Psa 94:2  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 

Psa 94:3  LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 

Psa 94:4  How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 

Psa 94:5  They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 

Psa 94:6  They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 

Psa 94:7  Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 

Psa 94:8  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 

Psa 94:9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 

Psa 94:10  He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 

Psa 94:11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 

Psa 94:12  Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 

Psa 94:13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 

Psa 94:14  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 

Psa 94:15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 

Psa 94:16  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 

Psa 94:17  Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 

Psa 94:18  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 

Psa 94:19  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 

Psa 94:20  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 

Psa 94:21  They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 

Psa 94:22  But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 

Psa 94:23  And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
