Empty Words of the Wicked, Enduring Goodness of God

 "Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually." - Psalm 52:1

At first glance, the question addressed to a man who boasts in evil and the mention of God's enduring goodness might seem unrelated. However, they are connected. David reminds the wicked man that his words and deeds cannot harm God's people because God's goodness to His people endures continually.The words of a man who boasts of evil will one day cease, and God will destroy him forever (v. 5).

Therefore, we should not fear the threats or evil plans of the wicked, because the goodness of our God endures continually.
