FAITH CAPSULE: It will be the timing of God to expose the wicked one. 

Psalm 37

Are you afraid of evildoers or envious of the workers of iniquity?
The Psalmist warns, “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.” (Psalm 37:1)  
The evidence of being fretful of the evildoers is in not resting in the promises of God, not knowing that the wickedness is not beyond God.
One that does not trust in God troubles much and no longer rests in the Lord. 
Also, those who are envious of the workers of iniquity demonstrate that they are no longer resting in the Lord but rusting away. 
Indeed, the wicked are here to stay until the time of God to take them away.
The same Psalm 37 gave the prescription of what it takes to ignore the wicked ones by stating, “Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” (Psalm 37:3) 
Let the Lord take care of His business concerning the wicked. 
Nothing gets past the Lord that is beyond intervention from God. 
The Lord God sees and knows all things that exist. 
The book of Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 admonishes, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” 
Fear God for your own and not fret because of the evil doers. 
God alone knows when to execute His punishment over the wicked with the choice not to repent before God.
Jeremiah questioned, “…Why does the way of the wicked prosper? 
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.” (Jeremiah 12:1-2) 
God does not sleep or slumber and the evidence is for all to concentrate on pleasing God working God’s works rather than questioning His response to the wicked. 
The honest question is, are you a wicked one? 
Is the word of God near in your mouth but far from your mind? 
No wickedness is excusable before God. 
God will judge all the wicked ones.
Psalm 37:2 states, “…They shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.”  
One will experience deception, and the world can experience lies, but God cannot look over the wickedness on earth.

Prayer for today: Ask God to touch your heart and bring you out of every way of wickedness.
