From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
The awarding of honor to whom honor is due is God’s delight, especially when the upright man has been maligned by his fellow men. It must be a divine pleasure to right wrongs, and to defeat the schemes of the unjust. The great Arbiter of human destinies is sure to deal out righteous measure both to rich and poor, to good and evil, for such judgment is His delight. — C. H. Spurgeon, Treasury of David
