FAITH CAPSULE: What do you belong to, before God that sees all?
Psalm 10
Are you one that is living life as a fool or as a wicked one?
The fool one and the wicked one are a combination of evil agendas with ways of no fear for God.
Continual evil activities exist where they flock together.
To them, when evil does not have a place is like an abomination.
Proverbs 13:19 records, “…it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.”
Are you one that is living life as a fool or as a wicked one?
Who is a fool?
Psalm 14:1 identifies the character of fool one, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.”
Proverbs 1:7 records, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 10:23 also identifies the character of fool one, “To do evil is like sport to a fool, but a man of understanding has wisdom.”
Do the above verses describe you or point you out as a fool?
Who is wicked?
The wicked have nothing good but to do evil.
The conversation of Jeremiah before God identifies the character of the wicked one.
Jeremiah 12:1-2 records, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. 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.”
The word of Jeremiah before God points out that having the word in the mouth but not from the heart is wickedness. (Jeremiah 12:1-2)
Psalms 11:5 p record the reaction of God to the wicked one, “The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.”
One that is a partial liar or constant liar is a wicked one before God.
One with the choice to search for self should have the understanding to come out of living life as a fool or wicked but to live life for the glory of God.
Living life as a fool or wicked is a sin before God.
God is a longsuffering and merciful God that does not overlook sins and iniquities.
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 documents what is up for the wicked, ” 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.”
What do you belong to, before God that sees all?
Come out of sin, avoid not to live life as a fool or as a wicked!
