As bad as it will ever get

A friend and I were talking about the challenges good, godly people face in this world sometimes. It can be discouraging. It can be frustrating. It can be infuriating to see people that are not living for GOD seemingly prospering more than we ever will. HOWEVER...

One day, we will ALL stand before a holy and just GOD and give an account for all that we have done, whether it be good or bad. For those who are GOD'S children, we will enter into eternity with our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. For those who do not know GOD, have not accepted GOD, they will hear, "Depart from Me, for I NEVER knew you."

Today's word is Psalm 94:23, NLT, which reads, "GOD will turn the sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. The LORD our GOD will destroy them."

I try to remind people all the time that we live in a broken, and fallen world. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people just because we live in a world that is full of bad things. More important, satan is running things in this world. But, it is not this world that we should be concerned about. It is not our earthly possessions that should drive us. Our treasures are in Heaven. One day all this will be behind us and those that are left can "enjoy" it for what time they have left.

You see, I don't want anyone to go to hell; NOT ONE. But, for those who are living evil lives, they prosper because satan already has them; he gives them things to try and keep them. For those of us who belong to JESUS, he wants to beat us down, beat us up, and cause us to become discouraged. All we have to do is remember that our treasures are in heaven, and, one day, we will all receive our just rewards. For those who are not saved, this world is as good as it will ever get. For those of us who are saved, this world is as bad as it will ever get.

Be Blessed,
