La predicación de Joel Coyoc sobre Salmo 10:12-14 se centra en la esperanza del creyente en medio de la maldad y la tribulación. El sermón examina cómo el salmista, al observar la arrogancia y el desprecio por Dios en los malvados, clama a Jehová, recordando que aunque la maldad parece prevalecer, la justicia de Dios finalmente atrapará a los inicuos. Las escrituras utilizadas, como los versículos del Salmo y el relato de Apocalipsis 6, subrayan la victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la esperanza de redención para los creyentes. La importancia doctrinal radica en que, a pesar de las adversidades y la aparente desventaja, los creyentes confían en que Dios es su refugio, asegurando así su fortaleza en la fe.

The Bible emphasizes that believers can find hope in God even during hardships.
The Scriptures depict the hope of the believer as anchored in the reality of God's power and faithfulness. In Psalm 10:12-14, the psalmist calls upon God to arise and remember the plight of the needy. This reflects a fundamental truth in historic Reformed theology: that despite the appearance of evil and suffering, God is sovereign and His justice will ultimately prevail. Believers are sustained by the assurance that God sees their struggles and will act in due time to rescue and deliver them from adversity, just as He has promised throughout the narrative of redemption.
Psalm 10:12-14
The Bible assures us that God is attentive to the needs of the poor and vulnerable.
Psalm 10 reinforces the believer's conviction that God has not forgotten the poor. Verse 14 states, 'You have seen, for you observe trouble and grief, to repay it by Your hand.' This reveals God's attentive nature; He is not detached from human suffering. In Reformed theology, we understand that God's providence encompasses His care and concern for the marginalized, which is demonstrated through His actions in the world, often through the hands of His people. The faithful are encouraged to trust that God will enact justice, as He promises to uphold and protect the downtrodden, revealing both His character and His judgment against evil.
Psalm 10:14
Recognizing our spiritual poverty leads to dependence on God's grace and mercy.
Acknowledging spiritual poverty is crucial in understanding the Gospel. As articulated in Matthew 5:3, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' This acknowledgment fosters a reliance on Christ, who provides rich grace to those who recognize their need. In Reformed thought, it is essential to grasp that without a clear view of our depravity, we will not appreciate the magnificence of Christ's grace. This recognition humbles us, driving us to seek mercy and resulting in a genuine transformation where we can partake in the richness of God's kingdom, provided freely through faith in Christ alone.
Matthew 5:3
God's justice assures believers that evil will ultimately be judged and righteousness prevailed.
The concept of divine justice is central to the believer's hope and assurance in a world fraught with evil. Psalm 10 emphasizes that God observes and will address the oppression and malice perpetuated by the wicked. For believers, this is not merely a comforting notion; it is the bedrock of their faith that God will enact ultimate justice through Jesus Christ. The culmination of this belief is rooted in the cross, where Christ fulfilled the just demands of the law, allowing believers to stand justified before a holy God. Understanding God's justice encourages believers to live righteously and persevere in faith, trusting that God will make all things right in His perfect timing.
