Wisdom Trusting God To Make The Right Call

Saturday June 13, 2020

When we see those with evil plans prosper, we often wonder why God would allow them to do so. We hear stories about slum landlords who fail to keep their buildings safe and clean and do not seem to care about the well-being of their tenants.  God is not pleased when people behave like this. People think that God does not see, but He does, and He will be the righteous judge of the motives and actions of each person.

Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.  (Proverbs 24:19-20 NIV)

Evil actions are the result of lack of care for others. Sometimes we look the other way when someone needs help. The wisdom that Jesus gave us is, love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbour as yourself. Instead of this, we pray and seek to get what is best for our own use.  The Bible teaches us we are to use whatever gifts God gives to do good and share with others.  The Bible also teaches us that we will reap what we sow. Do we want to reap a harvest of wickedness or a harvest of good?

Don’t say, “I didn’t know it!” God can read your mind.  He watches each of us and knows our thoughts.  And God will pay us back for what we do. (Proverbs 24:12 CEV)

Many of us in recovery still suffer from unforgiveness towards those who have harmed us. We do not seem to be able to let go of vengeful thoughts.  This causes us to be tied to the painful event like an elephant tied to a stake, and we remain restricted by the pain we could easily be freed from. The wise person lets go of their unforgiveness and turns their offenders over to God who is the wisest judge and will make the right call in all situations.

Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. For the Lord will be displeased with you and will turn his anger away from them. (Proverbs 24:17-18 NLT)


Prayer: Gracious God, Please fill my heart with Your love and give me the desire to forgive those who have harmed me.   Set me free from all that hinders my new life with You.  Amen
