The Lord God is righteous and He cares about justice, rightness, fairness and equity for all His creation and all His creatures. Righteousness involves both deliverance and condemnation as long as evil and unrighteousness exist in the universe. Forgiveness, life and salvation cannot come until sin is judged and evil is eradicated. Righteousness is praised; right wins; justice prevails; and rightness rules.
The history-long war between good and evil, God and Satan, life and death, angels and demons, sin and holiness, flesh and spirit, kingdom of God and kingdoms of world will be fought until the Final Judgment of the Last day. Meanwhile, the battleground is in the soul for the soul.
One might think that the enemies might let up a bit on the faithful believer in old age, but not so. Enemies relentlessly continue to hurt the soul and seek to destroy life, no matter how long the Lord has been faithful throughout a long life. Therefore, the “old” believer continues to praise God for His righteousness and deliverances, pray for imprecations on the Enemies, and seek refuge and protection in the presence of God. And in the face of the devil’s lies, the Lord does not forsake. Right wins and rules again.
