THE CHOICE

Proverbs 10:6
Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Let us look upon this proverb as a plain observation.

Our Master exemplified this concept for us. His life looked like anything but a blessing. We considered him afflicted of God Isaiah says. In the end, Jesus died as a common criminal and the pure mention of His name still causes some of the deepest controversies the world has aver known. Yet, because of His faithfulness and willingness, God honored His Son Jesus the Righteous with the highest honors that ever were given. God put all His enemies under His feet; in fact, the whole universe.

The wicked on the contrary, he who lives his life of pleasure on earth; he who denies his soul the benefits of godliness; he who denies others the blessings of his God-given wealth; he who lives a selfish life of heavenly bliss on earth in total disregard to God’s commandments; his end is an end of violence. The devil exemplified this. Though he presently owns the world, which also gives him allegiance, he is the chief wicked one of the universe. All wickedness, disobedience selfishness, pride, lies and violence proceed from him. His end and that of his cronies has been determined from the beginning of time. The lake of fire awaits they and none can save from the judgments from El Shaddai, the Almighty God.

We need to always remember that. Whatever life has in store for us on this earth, if we are just, if we have endorsed the righteousness of the Lamb of God who gave His life as atonement for our sins, our end will be one of everlasting blessings in the place the Son has prepared for us, and the gifts of God are without repentance. But if we follow the prince of this world; if we now receive blessing upon blessing from his hands who shed innocent blood, we are doomed to the violence reserved for the unrepentant.
