FAITH CAPSULE: Remain focus only on God that is fully in charge.

Psalm 37

Remain focus only on God to maintain His presence that is fully in charge. The wicked one is the evil one but God alone oversees all that exists under heaven and earth. Are you fretful of evildoers or are you envious of the workers of iniquity? The Psalmist warned, “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.” (Psalm 37:1) When a man is not resting in the promise of God, man will be fretful of the evildoers. One that does not trust in God maintains self in troubles and not rest in the Lord. Does that speak to your life? Also, those who are envious of the workers of iniquity demonstrate that they are no longer focusing on God that meets need for man. A failure not to wait on God will cause man to waste. One that does not rest on God will rust away.
Acclaimed believer of God must know and not be fretful of the truth that wicked ones are here to stay until the Lord is ready 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. There is nothing that gets past the Lord. The Lord God sees all things and He knows all things that are going on.
The book of Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 admonished, “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.” You should maintain self by focus on God alone and not focus on the wicked one. When man does not focus on self, man will never be able to focus on God in this wicked world. Focus on God, fear God for your own and not fret because of wicked ones, the evil doers.
God alone knows when to deal with those who make the choice not to come out of wickedness.
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 nor slumber and it is important that we focus on God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to deliver you from the path of wicked ones.
