“For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” (v. 12)
In our society today, why does wickedness seem destined to prevail? Does God not see all that rears its head in defiance of Him and those who live unrighteously? Our text says, "the face of the Lord is against them that do evil”, implying that in due time their judgment will come. Psalm 103:9 tells us, "He will not always chide; neither will he keep his anger forever." Meaning, while this is still the age of grace, and He is still willing that none should perish, judgment is coming!
The major portion of our scripture reading for today it is a quotation from Psalm 34. In it the Psalmist had observed in his day just what the apostle was now seeing - that man's heart does not change from age to age, and is always trying to implement his own schemes and exclude his Creator. As a result, failure will always be written over the futile efforts of the human race to attain peace and happiness without God. Yet, out of the midst of this flawed reasoning, God is calling people to His name. And for those willing to accept His call, there is the promise, "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers.”
Therefore, be certain you are on the Lord’s side, receive His offer of salvation today before time runs out.
The Truth: "He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.” (Psalm 103:9)
