"Tell the righteous that it will be well" 2 Peter 2:7-8 God rescues the righteous. Peter lets us see it in Lot. Peter, writing by inspiration, tells us that Lot was a righteous man, who lived overwhelmed by the conduct of the people of those times: things that cause horror to speak of them. God saw that Lot had genuine faith and that he loved righteousness and abhorred sin. Peter lets us know that Lot was really a righteous despite appearances to the contrary. Peter repeats that his soul grieved every day by the things he heard and saw in Sodom. Sin caused him deep suffering.

I. (Job 36:7) He will not take His eyes away from the righteous.

A. They will be exalted - the humiliated put up.

1. The humiliated put up.

2. He cares for and protects the subjects (subject to Him).

3. Not only does He look at them, but He does not take His eyes away from them.

4. If a false teacher or prophet wants to hurt you, God's eyes are on you to deliver you.

5. Even if you are underrated and forgotten of whom you expect something, heavenly Father's "loving and compassionate eyes" never depart from you.

6. (Proverbs 11:10) With the success of the righteous the city rejoices.

7. The favor God bestows is not only a blessing to themselves, but also to the common good.

8. The righteous enjoy God's special favor: "The eyes of the Lord are upon (Psalm 34:15) the righteous, to guard and protect them in order to preserve them from all evil and whose ears are attentive to their cry.

9. Any cry of pain in the face of imminent danger or for having suffered a tragedy.

10. God keeps His own, so that no bone is broken.

11. The world is celebrating and great challenges, but in one the soul is afflicted.

12. Whoever has broken his heart (contrite is equivalent to crushed, as Lot had), will not have broken bones, but even those who have been broken will rejoice. (Psalm 51:8, 17).

13. (Psalm 34:19) Yes, there are many afflictions (evils, sadness, suffering) of the righteous.

14. (Psalm 34:19) But God has promised to deliver the righteous. But from all of them Jehovah will deliver him.

15. (Psalm 132:1) Remember, O Jehovah, David, and all his affliction.

16. (Psalm 37:25) That we will not lack what is necessary for life. Young I went and I have grown old, and I have not seen just helpless, nor his offspring begging (asking for charity) bread.

17. (Psalm 92:12) The righteous will bloom like the palm tree: it will grow like cedar in Lebanon.

18. Beautiful branches, slender body, it is always green and its fruit, dates, is very pleasant.

19. It is said that the palm tree grows "sub pondre crescit" = it grows under weight: that is, the more they squeeze it, the better the righteous grow and prosper under their burdens and tribulations and bear "fruits of sanctification".

20. The palm tree grows in the desert, a place of dryness, desolation, blooms, and bears fruit where other trees do not give.

21. (Psalm 92:14) It is promised that they will bear fruit even in old age, in the trees of God the power of grace does not decay because of the lack of natural forces.

22. Many times, the last days of the Saints are the best days "and their work the best they have done in their lives."

23. It will grow like the cedar of Lebanon. (Psalm 92:12b)

24. When God gives grace, He also gives increasing grace.

25. The trees of God grow more and more like the cedars of Lebanon, famous for their height and can reach 40 meters in height, their evergreen (which lasts and with slenderness); always towards the sky and ready for good uses.

26. (Isaiah 3:10) Tell the righteous that he will do well, for he will eat from the fruits of his hands.

27. Although circumstances are unfavorable, "God rules" in particular lives (you belong to Him, have a relationship with you, "His own.")

28. "Each one will collect from what he sows."

29. No one will defend you, "according to what you sow is the harvest."

30. If everyone were righteous, everyone would do well.

33. In the Father's kingdom the righteous will shine.
