The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then men will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.” (Psalm 58:10-11)
Friday was Good Friday, the day we remember a time evil thought it had truly triumphed, when the prince of darkness thought he had succeeded by nailing the son of God on a cross, it is comforting to know that Easter provided a way for the ultimate happy ending. For every moment where it seems the evil and oppressive have won, there is a resurrection and judgment day ahead. God is victorious. Not just “will be” victorious, he “is” victorious. The cross wasn’t a setback, it was victory, although it wouldn’t be recognized as such for 3 days.
God, thank you for your victory and your promise to reward the righteous. Thank you for the sacrifice of your son on our behalf, that we would be able to ultimately celebrate victory with you for eternity.

The cross is the ultimate show off love. It is what I try so hard to teach my children, students and athletes.
