Indignation

…and a God who feels indignation every day. Psalm 7:11, ESV

Indignation: anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment.

In the verse above, David is praying to God about his enemy. In the prayer he says that God is a righteous judge and one who feels indignation. What a word of encouragement for all of us! YHWH is omnipresent, He is with us always. He is omniscient, He knows everything. He is omnipotent, He has all power, and this scripture reminds us that He feels what we feel when we are being treated unfairly. He is Yahweh-Ghmolah, the God of Recompense. The Lord says in Romans 12, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” We should never avenge others for what they do to us but leave it in God’s hands to deal with. He knows and is aware of all the injustice that is happening to each one of us. We can rejoice with confidence that our redeemer understands the brokenness in our soul and will deliver us.

The scripture goes onto say, “If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready. He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant]. Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin, And he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies. He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap]. His mischief will return on his own head, And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt]…” (Psalm 7:12-16, AMP).

God has not given us authority to take matters into our own hands. Just like David, we are to bring our problems to the Lord and He will take care of them. Our job is to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44) and give thanks and praise to the Lord for His righteousness and justice endure forever to all men. Amen. Hallelujah!
