FAITH CAPSULE: His sentence against evil work might to be executed speedily but He coming at His time.

Psalm 73

Psalmist’s inability to look away from the on goings of wickedness activities under heaven called for recorded statement in Psalm 73. It is written, “For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked for there are no pangs in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. Therefore, pride serves as their necklace; violence covers them like a garment.” (Psalm 73:3-6) Are you one that is not able to look away from wickedness around you? Are you being intimated by wicked ones way of life? Be restful and know that God is never asleep nor slumber He will cause the wicked to be separated at His appointed. Look away from the wicked and not be envious of the wickedness activities.
The same God yesterday, today and tomorrow will not overlook the wickedness of today. The bottom line of it all is what Jesus talked about in Matthew 13:30: “Let both grow together until the harvest and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” Where do you stand? Are you a representative of wheat or tare? At every time of rainfall and all that contributes to growth, both wheat and tares are in position to be benefited. Oftentimes, there is no clear distinction identifying tares from wheat. Also, it is possible for tares to be appearing fat and better than wheat but God’s intervention time to separate wrong from right in near. As one that is living by the word of God should be awake, ready and prepared for harvest time that is coming.
Wickedness is evil, evil is sin the evidence of not having fear for God. God can be a long-suffering God, His sentence against evil work might to be executed speedily but it is certain that God is in perfect control to see over all under heaven. Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 is a warning encouragement as it is written for our learning, “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.”
It is possible for wickedness to appear as growing fine and better under heaven. In life, growth is possible in every area but not all growth can be measured as pleasing to God. Without speedy of God’s action against the wicked is not an evidence of God’s approval. Indeed, God see it all and at His appointed time (not man’s timing) He shall judge all

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s deliverance and not be a wicked one in all ways of life.
