If wickedness didn’t feel good, if it didn’t give us a payoff, if we didn’t somehow enjoy it, we wouldn’t do it. Nobody thinks of themselves as bad people, yet we gladly take in the things that harm us. In the Bible, the image of a cup of wine is used to describe God’s will – for good or bad, for judgment or praise – that we drink in gladly and feel accordingly. By Pastor Lars Hammar
2 At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity.
3 When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep its pillars steady. Selah
4 I say to the boastful, "Do not boast," and to the wicked, "Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with insolent neck."
6 For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7 but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed; he will pour a draught from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.
9 But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Psalm 75:2-9
