The End of The Wicked
“So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD,
even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel
of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the
LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of
Jesse.”
(1 Chronicles 10:13-14)
Today’s Morsel: One of the
things that I think many people are unwise and unlearned in is their
understanding of the role of judges. Judges interrupts laws and in some
cases they mete out punishment to those who violate them. King Saul was a
continual violator of God’s word. For some unknown reason he just fails
to do what God said. And in so doing, scripture says, “So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD,
even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for
asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of
it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the
kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.” God has no problem with removal of
those who violate His word. Scripture says, “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly
be destroyed, and that without remedy.” (Proverbs 29:1)
You don’t have to keep listening to the news, worrying, and thinking the wicked
are getting away with anything. There will come a day when they will have
to stand before the Judge of all the earth, Jesus. So we should pray that
God will open their eyes that they too may behold the wonders out of His law so
that they do not perish forever like Saul.
Sing: Send the light, the blessed gospel
light; let it shine from shore to shore. Send the light, the blessed gospel
light, let it shine forever more.
Thought For Today: The wicked
shall not live out half their days.
