Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off. I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree. But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found. Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
O, the promises in these verses; the knowledge that justice will prevail, that the Lord will provide a future for the one who pursues Shalom and that those who defy the Lord will receive the just penalty for their transgressions. It is not my concern, that the wicked appear to prosper, the Lord tells me not to worry, He will take care of the evil-doers, I am to keep my focus upon obedience to Him and His Word.
