The wicked will not prevail

God has been pounding it in my head lately that HE IS IN CONTROL, not the people who think they are. It's amazing what a power people we are. We want control over things that don't even have anything to do with us. We are on a major ego trip...how can that be for God's people?
Along with this He has also been showing me that He most definitely will take care of His children who are living in obedience to Him and submission to Him. He will watch over those who do not have SELF on the throne, looking out for what is best for themselves instead of what is best for all.
Psalm 94 tells me that He will deal with injustice. He will discipline His people who need it in His own time.
I know He will deal with liars and gossips. He will deal with those who manipulate and deceive. He will deal with those who talk out of both sides of their mouth. He will deal with the fakes, the phonies, the pretenders. Judges shows us the cycle of living in and out of sin. It shows us God's displeasure with it and His judment on it. It tells us that the bar isn't set at "well we're better than we used to be, we've come a long way, or we're trying to change". Jesus Christ is the standard, He is where the bar is set and cycling in and out of sin and excusing our sin for any and every reason isn't the answer.
May we as God's people repent, turn, humble ourselves and pray. May we get healthy and strong. May we watch our intake and that will solve many of our actions. May we guard our hearts and most definitely our mouths. May we live differently than the rest of the world so there's no doubt we are on God's side and not the side of self.
So thankful to be seeing much of His work lately. The more we get to know Him intimately, the more we learn about His character, how He works, and what displeases Him. May we seek to know Him, not about Him, but know HIM that we might strive to please Him in ALL that we do. May we be careful not to compartmentalize our lives and hold out on Him. May we let Him have it all (hot) or turn and go our own way (cold). We do know He hates lukewarmness.
