WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT EVILDOERS

Lady of Light

In Psalm 37:1-4, it states the following:

"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

Often, we see what appears to be people prospering and they are doing evil or behaving dishonestly. We are not to be bothered by this because the Lord is in control and he will deal with all of this.

Also, if we trust him and delight in him, he will give us the desires of our heart. This is a wonderful promise.

As you go about today, release any concern you have about evildoers, trust the Lord and delight in Him.

God bless you and have a great day!

Love Knowledge and Counsel

Lady of Light

Provebs 1:29 - 33 says:

"For they hated knoweledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore, they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from the fear of evil"

This is a clear sign for us to take a look at our lives closely. "The truly wise person is one whose first allegiance is to God, and who then conducts his daily affairs in obedience to God."

It is so easy to "drift" from God and the knowledge of God if we are not careful, because their are many stimuli and influences in the world today. Simply keeping our allegiance to God first will influence all of our thoughts and behaviors. If you find that you are not keeping with this principle, turn and get back to it. Time in prayer, time with God and in his word is of paramount importance. He gives us everything we need to live our lives if we stick close by him.

Verse 33 is a wonderful promise of God. "Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from the fear of evil."

God bless you and have a great day!
