"God has amazingly various and effective ways of stifling their {{our enemies}} purposes. He can put a stop to their fury when He pleases (Psa. 76:10). When they have vented as much of their wrath as shall advance His praise, He can set up a power greater than the combined strength of all sinning creatures to restrain the rest. Some He will cut off and destroy, some He will terrify, but He will restrain the rage of them all. He can knock them on the head, break out their teeth or chain up their wrath; and who can oppose Him?"
More good news! We have a God who has no sense of humor when if comes to those who would injure His servants. They will all get what they deserve and if they don't them they will have become our dear brothers and sisters with whom we will then share enemies.
Have you seen His hand in this in your life? I have and hope to see it more and more.
We need to pray that He will indeed, "knock them on the head," for our safety and protection. There is nothing wrong with this. I see it as an obligatory part of my prayer life. Why? Because it is not my place to knock them on the head regardless of how my flesh encourages it.
Remember, He calls admonished us:
Romans 12:18 ESV
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
