But the wicket will be destroyed

Psalms 145:20 - The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

All things of the Lord are according to His righteousness. His grace, His mercy and His love too go according to His righteousness. We may ask questions and even try to conclude that all the things which are happening in the world and which we do not understand, as God just lets it happen. There is no though or process in them. It is not so. If we understand the Lord by His Word (it is in part, the total is beyond the Word and not possible by man) we will realize that all things are according to His Word.

The Lord loves and does all things for His loved ones but also judges His loved one first before He judges others (Ezekiel chp9).

Therefore let's not take the Lord love, mercy and grace for granted. With repentance and fear of the Lord let us walk according to His Word.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, forgive me for taking You for granted and not listening to You. Forgive me for straying from your path. Help me Lord, give me the strength to come back under your wings and be in you sight. I make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[ Reference Scriptures ]

Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
