Reward for the Righteous

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 27 / 2 Kings 18 / Romans 1

 

Psalm 58:11 Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

2 Kings 18:5,7 He [Hezekiah] trusted in the LORD… so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him… And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth.

Romans 1:17-20 The righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith… The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness… so that they are without excuse.

 

The righteous find a great reward.

The wicked shall discover wrath. 

A prudent man will trust the Lord.

The fool shall stumble in his path.

 

Like Hezekiah who was wise,

We’re called to place in God our trust,

For only fools will trust in lies

From men who soon return to dust.
