SPF 292: Two Truths When it Feels Like Wickedness is Prospering

As we see the fruit of wickedness unfold each day in our nation I have to truths to give balm to the soul and sobering perspective as we live in our small window of time.   

In Job 21:14-15 Job says of the wicked: "They say to God, ‘Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’"

All of our days are numbered. Yours. Mine. Our children. The wicked. 

The difference is that when our day comes and our breath is cut off, we will be with God. Fully healed whole justified. 

But for the unrepentant - only God's wrath.

God is not mocked.

We all deserve death. But Christ alone delivers.
