What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.
Proverbs 10:24
Serving justice should not Fear us since it is God's job
Has there ever been a person or relationship in you life that just "plain does evil" It could be a person at work, someone in a volunteer organization or it could even be church. It could be a person who has no regard for truth or the well being of others. Using others for their own good is their mode of operation. Seeking peace or cooperation is not even in their language.
They are just wicked people!
The wicked fear the triumph of goodness, holiness, and righteousness. They fear not being in control. They fear death's overtaking them. The righteous desire the triumph of goodness,
holiness, and righteousness. They offer their lives to be controlled by the Holy Spirit of God. They recognize death is an enemy, but one that has been conquered by their Savior. In times like these, isn't it comforting to know that the things that the wicked fear are really things that they can be sure of receiving! Let me be gracious in my dealings of others. Let me be the positive influence at work and in the battle of life.
O LORD God, please bring your justice, mercy, and righteousness to triumph in the lives of all who seek after you and your will. Please make my heart more like yours in regard to evil and those who perpetuate it, and stir in me a deeper passion to lead those to Christ who do not know you on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
