Surely there is a reward for choosing the Lord. We all are weak and can be led by emotions traditions and desires into ways that are not pleasing to our Lord. Our greatest reward is that our Father and Lord deal with us mercifully and our reward is the relationship we get the privilege of enjoying.
Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge
the children of man uprightly? No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands
deal out violence on earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking
lies. They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that
stops its ear, so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning
enchanter.
O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions,
O Lord! Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let
them be blunted. Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the
stillborn child who never sees the sun. Sooner than your pots can feel the heat
of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he
will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. Mankind will say, “Surely there
is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
