Have you ever asked yourself, Why doesn't God do something about this or that? Why does He allow something in particular to continue?
It took me a long time to understand, God's patience with man does not signal His approval. It simply shows His long suffering and love for man. "God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." Also remember His timing is different from ours; "with the Lord one day is a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (2 Peter 3:8-9) However, make no mistake about it, the Lord will execute His righteousness. "He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever." (Psalm 103:9)
Therefore, just as He executed righteousness in the time of Noah (with the great flood) and in the time of Lot (destroying Sodom/Gomorrah with brimstone and fire) a day of reckoning is appointed for all those who dwell on the earth. Thankfully, just as Noah and his family and Lot with his daughters were delivered before judgement, so too will the believers in Christ be delivered.
The Truth
"The labor of the righteous leads to life, but the wages of the wicked leads to sin."
(Proverbs 10:16)
