"No harm comes to the Godly, but the wicked have their fill of trouble."
Do you believe in God? Do you believe in God's gift of eternal life in Heaven? Do you know in your heart that God will deliver you from any and all evil? The One Truth Today tells us that God makes sure that in the end no harm comes to the Godly. This is a blessing that God grants to those who love and serve Him. In our present vernacular we would say about evil that it imposes no eternal harm to us as believer's; "no harm, no foul". On the other hand the wicked have their fill of trouble and misfortune and it also is eternal. They do not look to God for salvation and they do not believe that He would save them. God could save them, but He will not out of their disrespectful personal choices.
Isaiah tells us that even in our old age when our hair is white, the Lord will carry us and bear our burdens. God will save us from death and damnation. Timothy confirms that the Lord will deliver us from every evil work. God will preserve us unto His Heavenly Kingdom. Job exclaims that the Lord will save us from our troubles and no evil will ever touch us! That is the message of this scripture. No harm will come to the Godly, in the end. The wicked will have their fill of trouble here on earth and certainly in the age to come.
In verse 13 of Proverb 12, we are told that the wicked are dangerously snared by the transgressions of their lips. They spit out the seeds that are harvested in their future. Once again we are what we think about ourselves in our hearts. If we disrespect and disbelieve God then we choose to reject Him and suffer the consequences. The uncompromisingly righteous shall come out of trouble. Thus the Lord assures us that as His children, no actual evil or misfortune or calamity will overcome us. If you believe in God you will also believe that He will DELIVER US FROM EVIL!
