Day 108 Proverbs 14:32 Proverbs 14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. Some people never learn from their mistakes. Their lifestyle gets worse each day until nobody will have anything to do with them except those who are just like they are. Solomon saw wickedness everywhere he turned, even in his family where murder and treason took the lives of two of his brothers. His example was his father, David, who lived each day taking encouragement in the Lord. You have two choices in life. You can live a life away from God, driven by your wants and desires, or you can live a life of obedience to God, accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord. One path leads to eternal damnation and the other to eternal life. In a world turned upside down with terrorist attacks, when everything you see on television is another story about something gone seriously wrong in the world, you know wickedness drives their hearts. However, those who know the Lord and live a life of obedience to God, have confidence in their salvation. As Christians, you know who is behind all the wickedness in the world, and until Satan is defeated for the last time, terror will continue to reign in the hearts of men bent on causing harm to as many people as they can. Jesus said he came to give us life, abundant life. He described Satan’s agenda and his purpose. John 10:10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Peace is what everyone shouts and longs for. Terror is what you see all around you. Though, no matter how bad it gets, you have this one confidence, Jesus was born to set you free from Satan’s chains. You have no need to fear hell and damnation when your hope lies in Jesus Christ. Let’s pray: Father, thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to be my Savior and giving me the confidence and hope of eternal life. Help me live my life each day knowing that one day Satan will receive his reward and will not be able to guide people with wicked thoughts and actions any longer. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
