Psalm 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
Oh Friends, it’s late in the morning, or early, take your pick; for as the Bard of Avon said, ‘to go to bed late is to be up early.’ The long and short of the story though is the ole fella’s tired, suffering from lack of sleep and frustration at not being able to find something to write about, and it’s drawing nigh time to send out the Bit. I’ve checked several things, but nothing really speaks to my spirit. But as I say, when in doubt, turn to Bruh David. And behold, the Spirit of the Most High eventually guided me to one of the many truisms in the Good Book. I never doubted that I’d be led to a Bit; time though was of the essence. But as usual the Good Lord came through with flying colours, proving my constant contention that He’s the Master of Timing. That’s my story of faith for today. (smile) However, like Bruh David, we can all learn from our trials. He had narrowly escaped death at the hands of Saul, his benefactor turned bitter enemy, jealous of his anointment to be the next king of Israel, not his son Jonathan. It seems he learned a valuable lesson from that calamity and pours out his heart in Psalm 34. ‘The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.’ (vs.18) That’s oh so true my Friends! The Lord never turns away anyone who comes to Him in sincere repentance.’ ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.’ (vs.20-21) Although the righteous suffer many trials, the Lord protects them from total destruction. All praise and thanks to our God Jehovah! However my people, ‘Evil shall slay the wicked, and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.’ Now that’s a proven fact. Though the wicked may seem to prosper and the righteous suffer, that’s only a short term thing. In the long run the tables will most certainly be reversed. Just look at all those evildoers who prospered in our false, built on sand, with mirrors and sleight of hand economy. Many have suddenly fallen on hard times now. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to fall, and certainly not as quickly and drastically as has happened. Meanwhile, the righteous, who are suffering too, possibly didn’t lose as much, since they didn’t have that much to lose in the first place, but they have something concrete to fall back on; the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, based on His Holy word, which says; ‘The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.’ (vs.22) That’s an awesome truth my people! No one who puts their trust and faith in the Most High God Jehovah will ever be condemned or held guilty. That’s like money in the bank! Note, the Canadian, not the U.S. banks. (smile) Meanwhile, the wicked shall be brought low by their own wickedness, as the Psalmist relates: ‘And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.’ (Ps.94:21) And if yuh doh believe Bruh David, then listen to Cousin Sol: ‘For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.’ (Prov.24:16) Yes my brethren, when the righteous fall, they shall always get back up and continue their righteous ways, but the wicked shall stumble and fall into calamity of their own making. It’s the same story; you reap what you sow. And a perfect example of that is Haman in the Book of Esther. As Prime Minister, he sought to have the Jews in all Babylon controlled areas killed, and went to great underhanded lengths to do so. But what happened? ‘So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.’ (Esth.7:10) Now that’s poetic justice my people! So beware of the evil you plan against others, for it can surely come back to haunt you. Oh Friends, we’re all sinners, saved by the grace of a merciful, forgiving God, and we shall continue to sin till Jesus returns, but there’s no need to think or create evil against our fellow man. It’s a stupid, unhealthy choice. As such, I’ll leave us with two pertinent quotes. Bruh David sings in Psalm 140; A prayer for deliverance from evil men; ‘Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.’ (Ps.140:11) That’s just the nature of evil my people; like the amoeba, it continually recreates itself, and is no respecter of persons. It destroys the very ones who perpetrate it. Now listen to Micah: ‘Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.’ (Mic.7:8) Hallelujah! Yuh see the difference mih Friends? Therefore, Sing praises to His Holy Name my people! So please, ah begging us, let’s cease from evil and do good nuh, so we can avoid destruction and eternal damnation. It’s the only wise and sensible way to live. Much LOVE!...what yuh give out…is exactly what yuh get back…
