Blessed Living (5): Of Definite Destruction
Read It Aloud: For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish (Psalm 1:6).
Ponder it Prayerfully: An ungodly person has a dangerous and deadly future. The Bible says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. Sinners may have their way now, but they will not partake of the joyful future that God promises to His righteous servants. Destruction was never purposed for human beings, and therefore sinners who end up perishing have only themselves to blame. God knows the way of the righteous, but to the ungodly He says, “Depart from me; I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:23, 25:41.)
Be a Doer (James 1:22): This verse encourages us to be strong in God and to continue faithfully in the path that He has set out for us. David was envious of the wicked until he remembered that God alone was the strength of his life, just as He is the strength of our lives and our portion for ever. The God who called us and chose us will carry us, and He will never slumber or sleep. His thoughts toward us are innumerable and His love for us is unquenchable. Things may or may not look too good right now, but in the Lord, the story has a happy ending.
Hide It In Your Heart (Psalm 119:11): For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36).
Pray It Personally: Father in heaven, I thank You because the end that You have for me is better than any trial I may encounter in this present realm. Thank You because You have given me the portion of the godly, You chose and called me and loved me before I ever knew You. Draw me nearer to You and away from covetousness and the lies of the enemy, in Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
