2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith and not by sight.”
Have you ever noticed how some of the most powerful verses in the Bible are just short, direct and to the point? There can be an awesome sense of power in brevity. And if you don’t think so…go listen to a long, boring speech and let me know what you got out of it. ZZZZzzzzzzz!! A good nap, if you’re lucky.
Sometimes we see people that seem to be “getting away” with things while we are diligently striving to live a righteous life. We see people bending the rules to the point of breaking them, and breezing right through life as if they have not a care in the world.
But the Bible tells us this: Deuteronomy 32:35, “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.”
Keep doing the right thing…even when it is no longer popular or fun. Keep trucking down the road of righteousness anyway. For if we continue to live out our faith in spite of all the calamity going on around us, we will be richly rewarded not only with eternal life, but with God’s greatest blessings along the way.
If we are so distracted by what is going on around us and so busy making lists of others’ offenses, then we will only cheat ourselves out of the peace and joy God has in store for us.
Today, have faith that God has it all under control. Focus on enjoying your own life, conquering your own demons and living a life that is filled with divine purpose. God will take care of the rest.
