Psalm 52
Doeg the Edomite was down-right the opposite of what we know as a good person. He was essentially an antagonist. Has anyone ever run into one of those in your life?? The answer is probably yes, but have any of us ever run into one like Doeg? That may be a different answer. Doeg was extremely proud of doing wrong. It wasn’t just mere sinning, he was boastful about it. He highly indulged in the telling of lies way more than the truth.
Then there is the complete opposite of Doeg, and that is David. He believes in truth over lies all day long. He reminds us that God will always expose the lies and remove those that act in such a deceitful manner. God always sees the truth and will bring justice. David knows that the righteous will always see God’s justice and learn the lesson to be given. So many times lies can lead to more money, power, and wealth, but only true trust in God is what is most real and right.
Doeg was the epitome of a bad man. He was a true example of the bad guy in the movies who wanted no part of being good or righteous. God always sees his type of injustice, but remember God will respond in His time. Evil people may seem powerful for a while, but it won’t last. Trust in God and stay rooted in His love. Remain faithful even when evil seems to be winning.
