Psalm 37:12 — 13, “The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them, but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.” Simply reading over this passage we miss an important lesson. It would seem as though David makes the Creator almost sadistic, laughing at those He plans to destroy, but look closely. Evil may plot and plan and yes, some righteous people will suffer greatly because of that, but the righteous are under His protection. Our Creator knows who trusts Him and He will hold them in the palm of His hand. The wicked however do not enjoy that protection and on the day of their demise they will be very disappointed.
