WISDOM FOR THE DAY

Destroy the Wicked

29 

The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity,
     but it destroys the wicked.

30 

The godly will never be disturbed,
     but the wicked will be removed from the land.

Verse 29

Jesus said, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.’ (John 14:6) Our lives are like journeys. We must live God’s way.

God will take us to the place where we belong.

This is good news for Christians. We belong in heaven.

This is bad news for evil people. The Bible says that they will go to hell. They should change their lives and trust in God. God will forgive them, if they turn to him.

Verse 30

See my notes on ‘the land’, under Proverbs 2:20-22.

In verse 30, Solomon compares a good man to a tree. Both belong in the place where God has planted them. Even when trouble comes, they can stand firm. ‘A storm passes. And wicked people cannot last. But good people are always safe’ (verse 25).

Good people are safe. We have security when we trust God.

God has promised to protect and keep all people who truly call on Him and try to follow His commandments. God is in charge of this world, and His people are those who willingly accept His authority.

On the other hand, if people want to control their own lives without God's help, they bring upon their own destruction. Similarly, those who willingly submit themselves to God as the ruler of their lives will receive His protection and be saved.

Conversely, those who disrespect God and try to assert their independence will eventually realize their limitations and be lost.

Let Me Ask You: What about the Holocaust? It is evident that the good are not always protected. This is because sin has corrupted creation. Creation was intended for the good to always be safeguarded, but unfortunately, evil individuals sometimes prevail.
