Proverb of the Day But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it Proverbs 2:22 KJ So often it seems like the evil will inherit the earth, rather than the meek. Bad people with evil intentions appear blessed in many ways that good people are not. It is a hard lesson to learn that the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. Often it would be so nice to see the unkind, cruel, hateful people get what they deserve. Like Gods people throughout history, we cry out for God to bring justice upon the heads of our persecutors. In due time God will do just that. Gods time is not our time, however, and we must learn to be patient and wait. God offers us a helpful suggestion in waiting for justice to come. Jesus says, judge not, lest ye be judged. Why beholdest thou the more that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? It is easy to sit back and hope for other people to receive their just desserts, but what God wants us to do is make sure that we are doing everything that we should be doing. Justice is Gods responsibility., Ours is to do those things which we know are pleasing to God, and to avoid doing the things which He dislikes - like judging our neighbor. ~Help us Lord to be patient, and to turn from bitter feelings toward those who do wrong. Let us love them with Your love and help us to look at our own lives to see that it is pleasing in Your sight. Wisdom from the Bible - Dan and Nancy dick
