Psalm
12:8: “who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.”
Do not be surprised when you
sometimes (or often) see bad people in the place of honor and good people in
the place of shame. It often happens that the reward of the wicked goes to the
righteous and the reward of the righteous goes to the wicked. How is that? The
world is dominated by evil and evil rules till the kingdom of God comes in
flesh. For some, it will be at the time of their death. Others (at some point
in history) will see it becoming a reality with their physical eyes.
Christians are patiently waiting
for God’s kingdom to rule on earth. For the time being this kingdom is only in
our hearts and minds. Yet one day it will be revealed to all. Then Christ will
appear not only as the Savior of the world, but also as the legitimate ruler of
it. So, till that happens you might see ungodly people succeeding in their ways
and look seemingly happy. But do not be fooled. This success and happiness are
temporary. Do not envy them, because their end is terrible. Put your trust in
God and wait for him patiently.
