Poetic justice is defined as a literary device in which virtue is ultimately rewarded and vice punished often by an ironic twist of fate intimately related to the character’s own conduct. We find these enjoyable in the movies, books, or short stories we watch and read and they are even more satisfying in real life. I heard of a thief who was surprised while burglarizing a house in Antwerp, Belgium. The burglar fled out the back door, clambered over a nine-foot wall, dropped down the other side, and found himself in the city prison. Oops! All I could do was smile after reading that.
One day, we will stand in awe as God metes out justice for all those things where people thought they got off scott free. One day we will all say, “Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments!” (Psalm 119:137)
