"All the horns of the ungodly also I will cut off [says the Lord], but the horns of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be exalted." Psalm 75:10 (Amplified)
Nothing jumps out at me faster than the word "uncompromisingly" in this verse. This word exudes tenacity and a total unwillingness to accept the norm, the status quo, or failure for that matter. God exalts those who are uncompromisingly devoted to righteousness. These people just won't give in, even when life seems to take its toll on them. Be it pressure, stress, or hardships the uncompromisingly righteous one will emerge without losing their temper or their witness.
Why will God exalt these people? I think because these people will face the best shot that the enemy has to give and still they will remain devoted to the cause of righteousness. It sure seems like this is a very difficult task, but if we allow the spirit within us to overcome our flesh then we're most assuredly on the right path. A word of caution, the temptation to give into unrighteousness abounds... but remember that the reward far exceeds the temporal pleasure of a life of sin. No matter what! Don't give in!
