Send us Fan MailHope in Wisdom7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,     for they rely on their own feeble strength.8 The godly are rescued from trouble,     and it falls on the wicked instead.Verse 7Death is terrible for an evil man. He will lose all of his money. He will lose all of his possessions. He will lose everything that he achieved in life. He will discover that he was wrong. But then it will be too late.The true Christian will have a different experience. Paul wrote, ‘While I live, Jesus comes first. When I die, I shall benefit… I want to go to be with Jesus. Heaven will be much better than this world. However, I must live longer, because I need to help you.’ (Philippians 1:21, 23-24)Verses 8God cares about a good man. But an evil man will suffer.Wickedness goes against the natural order of Creation. Therefore, the aspirations of evil individuals will not be fulfilled beyond their lifetimes.However, this doesn't imply that the memory of evil deeds will vanish. For instance, Herod, who ordered the massacre of infants in an attempt to kill Jesus, is still remembered. Yet, Herod's plan failed, and Jesus went on to become the Savior of the world.Hitler harbored ambitions of global dominance, which ended with his death.Verse 8 assures that eventually, righteous individuals will be rescued from their trials. It's important to note that this doesn't mean righteous people won't face challenges; rather, it promises deliverance. Moreover, those who caused trouble for the righteous will eventually face similar hardships.Reflect: What kind of authority do the power-hungry seek? Absolute authority. They aspire to be like God, which is an impossibility. God is the Creator, and even those consumed by power are mere creationsIf you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth. Real moments.
