The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. (Proverbs 12:7)

The worst thing that can happen to any of the Lord’s children is not giving proper attention to His Word. Whoever does so is called wicked. Every word that God sends to your heart is the best thing for your life; it is like an \”injection of vitamin\” right in the blood stream of someone who is dying due to the lack of it. Respecting what the Almighty deems to be better for our lives brings us huge benefits. Because He is the Father, He knows what we need most and sends His Word to help us in any adverse situation.

The condemnation of the wicked will be great. First, they will be overthrown. Their projects will not be accomplished, their plans will be frustrated, and none of them will remain standing (Job 8:13-15). The days will pass and they will not achieve what they want; they will sow but will not reap; they will pray but the answer will never come; they will stretch their hands, but there will be no help for them. Definitely, being wicked is like sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7).

Their condemnation will not end when they die for they are doomed to eternal torment. Whoever follows a wicked person soon realizes that their decision was the worst possible. By the way, whoever follows those who do not respect the Word of God ends up sharing their sin. There is nothing sadder than to disregard what comes out of the Almighty’s lips. My brethren, never let the demon of wickedness guide your decisions. Be obedient to God until your death.

If you decide to practice the Truth, obey the commandments of the Almighty and be compliant with the divine obligations, you will have a beautiful future. You will be loved by the Father and by Jesus (John 14:21) and you will be guided in all your resolutions. The plans and projects of the righteous will be confirmed, and they will be a blessing to society, to themselves and their family. The house of the righteous shall stand and his dwelling place in Christ will never be removed, but will be strengthened every day.

In biblical times, those who decided to do the divine will were successful. They were helped in times of calamity, their prayers were answered and everything good happened to them. Isaac sowed and reaped a hundredfold (Genesis 26:12), which represents a return of ten thousand percent. Where the righteous puts their hands, the blessing comes. This was the case with Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 39.1-6); and it will happen to any other doer of Truth.

The wicked are remembered only as an example of unsuccessful people, but the righteous bear fruits even after their death. They will be remembered with nostalgia, and their rewards will be in the hands of the Lord Jesus, who will give them on the last day. Make the decision to join this blessed group of people!

In Christ with love,
