Psalm 64:7-10 “But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow. Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads. All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!”

It seems like God directly intervenes here, but it could also be a case of the evildoers eventually being shown for what they are by their own words and actions. People will recognize their evil, rejoice that they are revealed, and ponder and praise the work of God! This is what happens in a godly society. But what about a society that isn’t godly? While there is still some recognition of particularly heinous sins, much of what God sees as evil is winked at or engaged in today. All we can do in those cases is cry out to God and recognize that one day all will be forced to recognize His Lordship and His rule!

Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
