The righteous and the wicked
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His grace, His mercy, His love and His faithfulness over our lives. Psalm 37v1 says:
“FRET NOT thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.”
“FRET NOT yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God.” (Amplified Bible)
“Don’t be upset because of evil people. Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong.” (New Century Version)
Two commands are given in this verse – don’t fret because of evil doers. And 2) do not be envious against the workers of iniquity. Perhaps you might be at a point where it seems as though, things look better on the other side. That is, the side when you are not been guided or being led and are not in right standing with God – where you get to be your own boss in a sense. God is saying to you today, do not be envious of workers of iniquity. Also, it may seem that evil doers keep getting away with things and you are fretting and getting upset, God is saying do not be. Do not get to the situation in Malachi where the Bible records that:
“ Your words have been stout against Me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against Thee?
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.” Malachi 3v13-15
But now see the other side of the story:
“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the LORD, and thought upon His name.
And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.” Malachi 3v16-18
Have a very blessed day.
