Can the evildoers and bloodthirsty be witnesses to the truth and Jesus? Anything is possible with God. Perhaps they will submit to the grace and truth of Jesus with a confession of faith, like Saul, who became Apostle Paul, or Peter who fell before Jesus after the great catch of fish. “Go away from me Lord for I am a sinful man,” Peter prayed (Luke 5:8).
David believed that even if they did not repent, all the earth could know that God ruled over Jacob because of what would happen to the unrepentant if his prayer was answered. (13) He prayed that they would not be killed, but rather wander homelessly about the earth becoming a reluctant witness to God’s faithfulness to his people. (11) Either way David asks God not to allow the enemies to escape the full consequences of their malice (12-13).
The choice is mine. Will I submit to the grace and truth of Christ? Or will I become a wandering homeless man? Will I speak words of kindness and truth? Or will I be a blaspheming liar and gossip? Hosea 9:17 says, “My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations.”
