FAITH CAPSULE: Are you paying attention to the way the wicked are living life? 

Psalm 73

1Samuel 2:3 records, “…For the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him, actions are weighed.” 
God sees all things because He alone is the creator of all things. 
God alone sees growth differently from the way man sees growth. 
In life, growth is possible in every area, but not all measured growth is pleasing before God.  
The fact is that wicked ones are growing just like the righteous ones.
It is also possible for the wicked one to be growing more and better than the righteous one, without God’s reaction against the wicked one. 
Indeed, God sees all growth, and He does not look away to execute His judgment at His time. 
The merciful God has His way of overtaking the wicked ones at their wickedness. 
Are you in a hurry to see God’s judgment of the wicked?
The same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow will not overlook the wickedness of today. The bottom line of it all is what Jesus said 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.’”  
Is your story in life like the tares or the wicked?
Where do you stand? 
Are you a representative of tare or the wicked?
Tares or wicked are with growth, and often there is clear distinction identifying tares or wicked with better in the eyes of all. 
In life, nothing is hidden from God but hidden from all.
Before God, there will be harvest time to separate tares from the wheat, the wicked from the good.
Today, know that God is not asleep over all His creation, know that it does not matter how long or how soon it takes to for the activities of the wicked world, God will come for His judgment. 
All that will make the difference is for you to be faithful in doing the will of the Father just like Jesus said, “Not every man who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”(Matthew 7:21) 
Will you be willing to step out of the wicked world into the way of God? Have you thought about your stand lately?
Are you paying attention to the way the wicked are living life?  
The psalmist could not look away from the wicked when he states, “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) 
God is never asleep nor slumber; God will come to separate at His appointed. 
Look away from the wicked and not be envious of the wicked.

Prayer for today: Ask God in His mercy to separate you from living wicked.
