Psalm 91:8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked. I. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SUFFERINGS OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED. The same external afflictions and trials may befall them; but to the righteous they are educational, to the wicked they are punitive — "the reward," etc. II. THE DIVINE RULE IN THIS WORLD IS RIGHTEOUS. Under it the godly are protected by God, while the wicked are punished. III. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE DIVINE RULE IS NOT ALWAYS MANIFEST IN THIS WORLD. IV. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE DIVINE RULE WILL ULTIMATELY BE CLEARLY MANIFEST TO ALL. The godly with their eyes "shall see the reward of the wicked." There is a state where all the apparent inequalities of the moral government of our world will be clearly rectified (Isaiah 3:11). V. THE WEAK AND FEARFUL BELIEVER, NOTWITHSTANDING HIS FEARS, SHALL NOT PERISH WITH THE WICKED. "Only with his eyes shall he see the reward of the wicked," while he himself shall enjoy the glorious inheritance of the good.
